Book excerpt: Excerpt from Automobile Engineering: A General Reference Work for Repair Men, Chauffeurs, and Owners; Covering the Construction, Care, and Repair of Pleasure Cars, Commercial Cars, and Motorcycles, With Especial Attention to Ignition, Starting, and Lighting Systems Belt Work. A far greater load variation is encountered in belt work than in plowing, as in the former the engine. May be running practically idle at one moment and be almost choked down by overloading the next, whereas in the latter there is always a load on the engine and therefore the danger of racing is absent. Irregular speed under changing load, racing of the idle engine, and tardy Opening of the throttle to meet the increased load, all of which are unavoidable With hand control, represent conditions of operation which not only reduce production at the machine being driven but are very bad for the engine itself as they result in overheating, prevent proper lubrication, and, not infrequently, result in burned-out bearings. In any case the pro vision oi a governor on the engine releases a hand for other and more productive labor. The majority of tractors go into service in the hands of an unskilled operator, and unless there is a governor on the engine, his course of instruction is likely to be marked by the occurrence of more or less damage that automatic control would prevent.
