Here is the fly ball governors on my model steam engine. It is actually like yours Dan in that it has the arm going over to the steam valve. Who ever built this was a real craftsman to build something so detailed and small.

Dan the pulley will be a flat pulley maybe an inch to an inch and a half wide and maybe 3 inches diam. Nothing fancy. I take it you aren't going to hook it up you don't have to worry about if it's really correct just as long as it looks good.

WOW !!! Very neat and clean. Those engineers back then were geniuses and it was all done in their head on a piece of paper.

If you water and cultivate the collection will grow like a garden. Yes about the engineers being geniuses. I love anything old especially if it is made from cast iron and is rusty. Got to be valuable.
