Abstract
A governor control valve is provided in which governor output pressure is varied in response to variations in vehicle speed by moving a valve member radially with respect to a ported shaft carried with a driven housing which drivingly carries a centrifugal force responsive weight mechanism. The ball valve and the weight mechanism are connected by a yoke member whose mass center is aligned with the axis of rotation of the housing and shaft.
