WHITE-THOMAS This very unusual half-breed is a White-Thomas cylinder, made
in Franklin, Pennsylvania, on a Tifft steam frame, made in Buffalo, New York. It
is a two-cycle uniflow design with a pendulum governor controlling the
cross over valve. It originally powered an oil lease near
Oleopolis, Pennsylvania, was restored in California, and came here in 2012. |

MILLER, 150 HP The 150 horsepower Miller is a in-line
twin-cylinder engine. It features a 21-inch bore and 20-inch
stroke. It is the only known example of an "old style" Miller engine
with its unusual valve motion. This engine worked at the Spring Creek air plant near Kane, Pennsylvania,
where it was located beside the 300 horsepower Miller we also have in
the Nate Lillibridge Station exhibit. The two Miller engines went their
separate ways after their removal from Spring Creek and they are back
together again at the museum. |
