En 1865 Maxwell rezignis pri la katedro en King's College, Londono, kaj revenis al Glenlair kun Katherine. En sia artikolo 'On governors' (1868, Pri governatoroj) li matematika priskribis la konduton de governatoroj, nome aparatoj kiuj kontrolas la rapidon de vapomaŝinoj, tiel establante teorian bazon de kontrolinĝenierado.<ref>Maxwell, J.C.
