The White Knight is a run capacitor system i.e. the start and run
windings are both energized when the motor is running. A capacitor start
motor is usually much bigger and has a means of disconnecting the start
winding and capacitor once the motor is running, either by the starter or
a centrifugal switch.



Ah, that's a PSC (permanent split capacitor) motor. Low starting torque
but simple, cheap, and generally reliable.
