- Caille Liberty Drive Outboard Motor, circa 1915 - Detroit-based brothers A. Arthur and Adolph Callie were successful manufacturers of coin-operated machines before they formed Callie Perfection Motor Company to build marine engines. Callie offered its Liberty Drive outboard boat motors in one- and two-cylinder versions. The simple, direct-drive units performed well in shallow or weedy waters, but they were difficult to steer when operated at full power.
