Another vintage governor added to the Oldwoodward.com collection in 2019 is a Woodward(the black unit) type 210085 double acting feathering propeller governor. The governor was removed from a Beech Craft C50 aircraft with a Lycombing Go-480 engine. Notice the early type governor body with the off-set feathering valve opening. Another great barn find!
