Governor devices are described for use on multi-engine plants, some of whose engines experience periodic torque variations, which act upon the torque regulator of at least one of the engines to maintain a steady torque and speed of the common final power output shaft of the plant.

An engine governor machine for governing two or more engines, all of which are coupled to a single common power output shaft, said governor comprising: torque regulator means for regulating the torque output of at least one of said engines; means for sensing the torque in said common final power output shaft; means for sensing the speed of said common final power output shaft; control means responsive to said torque sensor means and to said speed sensor means and operative upon said torque regulator means so that the torque in said common final output shaft is essentially steady as between successive cycles and is adequate to maintain the speed of said common final output shaft essentially constant.
