Those are impressive. The little curled nuts on top of the balls. (Okay, jokes go here.) I CAN say that I bet those are bigger than you think, because there's no comparison nearby.

*shakes head again* Dear, oh dear, oh dear.

And here I was going to say this fine piece of equipment is far too clean to be taken seriously as a proper functioning piece of hardware.

That particular piece of equipment had to stay clean....it is the governer to control the throttle of the steam engine. If it were dirty, the "balls" would not throw out to max speed, as the shaft would not slide the mechanism properly and the engine would not run to "balls-out" speed.

Of course, old dirty balls don't work nearly as well as young clean ones
