Sixth St. Phone 52-W STUDE.BA.KER: Knight motor built by Willys-Over land developing greater power per cnbic inch of piston displacement than any other American built mo tor construction, the operation of the .leeve-valves in the Knight type motor furnishes a greater opportun-i ity for high power development; ' with silent, efficient operation than any other type of valve con- j .traction which can be used. The functioning ot the intake and exhaust operations can be better '. controlled and the motor requires practically no adjustment during its entire life. It is also easier to reg ulate the speed of intake and ex haust of the gases in the cylinders to conform to modern motor re qnirements without making complete changes in design. With the Knight sleeve-valve mo tor this is dene by changing the po sition or size ot the porta in the .leeres while in other types of mo- tor. it requires a complete Te-de-; signing of the valve mechanism. 1 Recent developments In the con struction ot the Knight type motor, have resulted in a flexibility which motor authorities state is broader in Its range than that ot any other type of power plant. Public reaction to these facts is demonstrated in the manufacturing schedules of builders of Knight mo tored cars which are greater than at any other time in the history of the: Industry. score.
