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,

The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six

unnecessary,

The Knight motor is star principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the porta in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough eleaning of the burut gawe froi the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energy available is utilized from 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 hea" radiating qualities is used so either the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to bake the reskite from the expened gases to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosiva mixtum effectively,

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use,

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the burar gases works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder hosil and, as this building in process obtains, it keeps pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner ahteve nutä it completely seals the compression chamber. developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn, se

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 wale clearance between each other and pil is forced is to these clearance under heavy pressare so that the entire assembly ir lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of oil instund of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor în crder to keep it quiet with subsequent quick

wear and noise.

It has eliminate one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of cylindered poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as casus striking against push rods, push rods against valve stems, or valve henils snapping back into their sent through the medium of heavy spring, etc.
