The utility I worked at had a number of '40's era diesel generating plants. Rating was about 2.4 MW per unit IIRC. The plant manager started one up for us on a visit and it was chugging along at about 800 rpm and I asked him when he would take it off idle. He looked at me funny and said that it was already at governed speed.
