This Woodward governor is still in a mill in Portage County, Wisconsin. The mill was abandoned in the 1970's and the current owner left all the equipment as is to save the history of the place. Brad toured the mill and gave the owner several Woodward documents on the theory of operation about this governor including the original Woodward shop order and serial number index card for this governor. History is fun!
