Whites is a very interesting rotary machine .rotary machine was very ahead of their time most machines of the time were just oscillating machines…rotary machines much faster sewing machines with a short rotary needles and a short stroke of needle bar ..whites free and singer was in a very heated competition in machine sales
Yes, I was very impressed with this mechanically… especially the transmission of rotary motion from the main shaft to the hook race via link and sliding block inside the arm. Very nicely done!
@ gear drive machines are slowed down by the friction of the grease between the worm gears sometimes the grease get dehydrated down to a wax and you can add a drop or two of motor oil to rehydrate the grease and it will help with the grease friction with other machines…baking soda from the kitchen will safely dissolve the old brown oils if you ever need to clean any parts
Yes, and if you’re using a machine with gear drives on a treadle, you really notice the extra resistance. I find the linkage driven machines much better for treadles, where ease of running and good momentum are (I think) more important than smoothness and lack of vibration…

Beautiful , it looks brand new and not used at all 😊
