The Day of the Knight is Here !
IT IS THE
WILLYS KNIGHT
Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.
It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car
in the market.
!
1.-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the sir
unnecessary,
The Knight motoristan principle. The valvee are two cylindrical aferrcs with rectangular slots or porta. which when they register with each other and the ports in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without abstraction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust aside, pamit a more thorough cleaning of tha burnt gases from the pombustion chamber than say other type of motor, so that every ounce of mergy weakable is atilized from the expīòsive mixture, which gives us such tremendous power
2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean...
The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great boa radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gusen to form carbon while there is still songh heat maintained to handle the explosive misture electively.
3-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.
While then cau not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the barat- gases works up behind the wale waling ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in proces chtains, it korpe- pushing this saling ring mee lightly against the inner alecro until it completely weals the compression chamber developing mon power with every mile the motor is drawn.
4-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out,
.
All parts in the Willys-Knight car are assembled with wide clearance between each other ad oil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly in lapping or wearing in on these beary films of oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil baring instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a popjet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick wear and pote
It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts zecessary in the operation of a cylindered poppet raive motor. There are no hammering parts such as can striking against push rods, push role against valve stems, or valve heads snapping back into their seats through the meshum of heavy springs, etc.
