1911 White Model GE-75

The 1911 White Model GE-75 is a four-cylinder, gas engine rated at 40 horsepower. Badger Brass carriage lamps and original brass instruments add beauty and functionality to the White, but the car's usefulness and durability can be seen in every aspect, from the elliptical leaf springs to the large, wooden artillery wheels. An ornate Boyce Motometer sits atop the curved radiator, which is a design element known as the "White Curve."

An efficient small bore, long stroke engine secures for the 1911 White greater horsepower than its competitors. The intake and exhaust valves are on one side of the engine, actuated by a camshaft within the crank-case. The entire valve mechanism is enclosed, reducing wear. Ever innovative, White has placed the magneto and water pump  on opposite sides of the engine, so either can be reached without disturbing the other. White gasoline cars use high-tension magnetos only, eliminating wiring for batteries.

The White uses large, annular ball-bearings.There are no frictional bearings anywhere in the car, and no roller-bearings. White gasoline cars give four forward speeds and one reverse, with direct drive on the third gear. This car can easily climb hills without overheating or shifting.
