RHWhite Child Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am the grandchild of Rollin H. White, the inventor of the White steam cars and the Rollin automobile. I am preparing papers to nominate him to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. I badly need help in understanding the technical details of his inventions/patents that had the greatest impact on the development of automobiles and/or steam engines for cars. Can any one help? Please email me at bettyking1@gmail.com.Thanks RHWhite Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamcar Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You can go to the Steam Automobile Club of America website. They have reprints of White literature in the Storeroom. There you may also find someone that has White Steamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1925Stanley Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The Virtual Steam Car Museum is located on my website, www.stanleysteameronline.com. We have a fair amount of White material, mostly magazine advertisements, brochures, and instrution manuals. Some are in PDF format and I'd be happy to send you copies.Very best wishes!Don HokePS Yes, we're always looking for steam car advertising and ephemera.

RHWhite Child Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm sorry to be so very, very late in responding to you. (I'm a technology-challenged old lady and not used to these forums, so I only saw your message when I logged on today to post another request). I would dearly love to see anything you have in PDF and would be grateful if you would send them to me. Could you send them to me at bettyking1@gmail.com?The message I posted today was to invite White steamer owners and fans to write letters in support of Rollin's nomination to the Natl. Inventors Hall of Fame. If you are interested/willing, I'll send you info on how to do it. Again, please use my email address above.With thanks and best wishes for the New Year, Betty King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
