Finally got the new guy to stop cranking the governor rope tension past the spec on those old Dover units.

He kept saying 'tighter is safer' until I showed him the manual where it says too much tension can wear out the sheave in under a year, and now he checks it with a gauge every time.

Read somewhere that he thought it was just a fancy clock for the longest time.
