Description
These rather large and very shiny metal balls are part of the steam governing system that keeps one of the pumping engines at Claymills running at a constant speed. In a simple process the faster the engine runs, the further the weights move from the centre shaft and this shortens the link between top and bottom, thus reducing the steam supply
