Answer

The governor in a steam engine is a mechanical device that automatically regulates the speed of the engine.

Its primary function is to maintain a constant engine speed, regardless of changes in load or steam pressure. It does this by adjusting the amount of steam entering the engine's cylinder. If the engine speeds up, the governor reduces steam flow; if it slows down, it increases steam flow.
