  • the correction device embodying the invention operates as follows.
  • the device is applied to a supercharged engine and that the source delivering the gas adapted to act in the chamber part 7a is a turbocompressor charging the engine.
  • Adjustment of the supercharging air pressure value P, from which the correction device starts to come into operation is obtained by adjustment of the initial tension of the spring 8.
  • Such adjustment of the initial tension is preferably obtained by adjustment of the thickness of the shim 27 and, possibly, by adjustment of the thickness of the disc 29.

  • the slope of the segment C i.e. the angle a can be selected by using a spring 8 of appropriate stiffness.
  • correction device 1 embodying the invention is situated is particularly advantageous for good regulation, because the forces required to move the rack 2 are relatively small in relation to those which would be required to act on the governor 6.
  • the stray resistances introduced by the flexible piping 32, one end of which follows the movements of the cover 12, are small as a result of the arrangement adopted.
  • the piping 32 undergoes only slight flexure and slight twisting, which in no way affects the qualities of the correction device.
  • the engine can be stopped by pushing the rod 2 in the direction to cancel the delivery by means of the stop lever 36 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the device embodying the invention is of very small size and, because it is directly mounted on the rod 2, is very easily fitted to all types of governor 6.
