The system to keep the speed constant on a steam engine, is called a "WATT regulator" invented by James Watt.

It uses 2 balls that are turning around a vertical shaft. When the speed of the shaft increases, then the balls are pushed outside by centrifugal force. When they go outside a mechanisme pushes a second hollow shaft up and down over the vertical shaft. This secundairy hollow shaft is connected a valve that controls the speed of the engine.

By adjusting the length between the middle of the balls and the rotation point of the two balls, you can change the constant speed of the engine.
