High compression in modern
automobile engine design offers
several I'i tiuet advantages over
motors o: r.idium or low compres
sion, in addition to the Important
feature of increased power and ef
ficiency, according to S. Barber,
local .Willys-Overland ' dealer. ;s In
view of bis wide experience with
the high compression type engine
employed Jn the Willys-Knight
cars, Mr. Barber glres some inter
esting Tiews oa tbis subject which
Is a leading topic In the automo
bile field today. 1 - ' . - i
"With motor car buyers show
ing greater interest than ever in
engines or the high compression
design, and with many automobile
manufacturers turning to this type
of power plant in the modern car,
it is interesting to note that own
ers of Willys-Knight cars for more
than ten years have been getting
all the advantages of high coio-pressio-
performance. rr
"High compre&eion in Its ordin
ary sense means that the gasoline
mixture is highly compressed Jn
the combustion chamber with the
result that more force is given to
the piston in its downward stroke
after the explosion. This additional
force on the piston furnishes more
power to the engine. Since there
is virtually no 1 increase in the
amount of fuel consumed when
higher compression takes the place
of lower compression in an engine
of the same size, the greater
amount of power" given off by the
higher compression, motor enables
It to do the same amount of work
with less" effort; all of which
makes for Increased fuel economy.
i ne . iinignt sieeve Taice ; en
gine, because of its patented de
sign; lends itself ; more readily for
high compression service than en
tine of other, types. Certain limi
tations are imposed on those of
other design which are not found
is the sleeve ralve engine. :
"The cylindrical shape of the
combuslon . chamber surmounted
with a dome shaped head carry
ing the spark plug la the center,
la typical In the Knight engine de
sign. This produces the full force
of the explosion directly to the
head of the piston! J The Ideal lo
cation of the spark plug In the
center .of - the ' compressed - fuel
charge, result In the spark trav
eling the : shortest 7 possible dis
tance. This assures a speedy burn
ing of -the charge and the resul
tant transmission of extra energy.
"It Is Important to note that
the Willys-Knight engine works as
efficiently and a- smoothly when
ordinary gasoline Is used, where
as in other types of high compres
sion engines, to obtain freedom
from "knocks" it is necessary to
use : one of the several special
brands of gasoline made especially
for high compression engines. This
Is a decided factor in the econom
ical operation of the Knight pow
ered cars."

"It must also be remembered
that out ef the 1,500 pounds of
seed cotton, there remain approxi
mately 1,000 pounds of cotton
seed, which, due to the smaller
crop alone, Is bringing a higher
price, but on account of the high
price of corn, and the demand for
cotton, sej d. .by-prod acts for feed
ing purposes, cotton 'seed, should
bring still higher prices and, due
to the' high price of - lard, which
la governed by the price of hogs,
cotton seed oil is more In demand
and will bring higher prices. All
of these things bring added pros
perity to the southern farmer. f
"It must also, be . remembered
that there was some curtailment
in acreage planted to cotton and
that this land was planted to feed
crops, which reduces the amount
usually spent by the southern
farmer for feed stuffs. j

COMPRESSION RINGS
PASS FOUR TESTS

of the thickness of the ring. If
the ring is not perfectly round a
ray of light is seen between the
outer edge of the ring and the
side of tfce'flxture. In such ceases
the ring Is rejected. . :.
To make positive that rin-gs are
! flat and parallel, each ring If plac
ed upon a hollow, gourd-like d-
and having, a perfectly flat, cir
cular top J approximately three
inches In - diameter. A lid-like
cover is lowered over the ring. As
the lower surface - of the lid and
the upper surface of the fixture
are parallel within .0001 Inch-, the
slightest variation in flatness or
parallelism is instantly shown by
a light ray.
Oldsmobile engineers have de
termined that a gap with limits of
00S to .01 Inch gives most effi
cient results. All compression
rings In Oldsmobiles must be with
in these limits, having to pass .a
test by being placed in a fixture
and the gap measured by a "feel
er" or thickness gauge. ' i.
The thickness bf the ring is
tested on another gauge to insure
that it Is within .0005 Inch of the
dimension . specified.
