===Speed control=== Speed control via a [[Governor (device)|governor]] is another type of servomechanism. The [[steam engine]] uses mechanical governors; another early application was to govern the speed of [[water wheels]]. Prior to World War II the [[constant speed propeller]] was developed to control engine speed for maneuvering aircraft. Fuel controls for [[gas turbine]] engines employ either hydromechanical or electronic governing.
