It is the number of strokes (forward and back) the piston makes in one minute. For radial (turbine) and rotary steam engines, it is the number of revolutions per minute.

This tractor can reach the max speed of 20 km per hour.
Athrottle valve controls the flow of steam to the engine. Without throttling the steam the engine will simply run full speed and vary in speed as the load increases and decreases. The throttle valve maintains a steady speed by opening as the load increases and closing as the load decreases.
A governor is a speed control device. It can be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electronic. It maintains a specific speed of rotation of the flywheel of the engine, or the shaft of a turbine, which is set by the operator. Governing an engine is just that, controlling the speed of the engine.
the invention of the steam engine in 1705 brought in a new source of power. the steam engine used fire to heatb water and produce steam.that why they invented a steam driven boat which allow people to send good quickly over river and canals. It increased the speed of trains. It revolutionised transportation
