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 disinctive and gracefully balanced-body
in the market.
any car
1-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six
unnecessary.
The Knight motor is steam principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves 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 game without obstraction. Thear wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of moter, so that every ounce of energy available in ztilized (mm the explosive 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 has radiating qualities in med so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot mough to bake the rule from the exposed gas to forin carbon while there is still axough heat maistained to handle the explosive mixture effectively..
-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.
り
While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the barnt gasos works up behind. the wide aling ring in the cylinder head and as this building in process obtains, it keepe pushing this sealing ring more tightly agafat the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber - developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.
-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears.ont.
י
All parts in the Willys-Knight car aro assembled with wide clearance between each other and öl is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire asambly is lapping or wearing in on the heavy films of oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metai bearing which is necessary in the construction of a puppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick wear and noise.
It has eliminatel one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylindered poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as came striking against push rods, push rods against valve stems, or valve his snapping lack into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
