    D'Arcy Porter
    and
    George W. Baker
    designed the machine and are named as inventors on most of the six
    original US patents, dated 1876–1877, that cover it.
    The company literature would later look back adoringly on them,calling them "two of [White's] best mechanics" who had"perfected a new type of sewing machine, far superior to anything then on the market".
    At the time of its development, the machine was the White Sewing Machine Company's flagship product—so much so that it was simply named the "White Sewing Machine". Only later it was called the"White Vibrating Shuttle" as the bobbin driver.
    Local pickup preferable.
