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 of any car in the market,

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 aloeven with rectangular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the perts in the block allow the ingress and ogress of the gene without, abstraction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, pornit more thorough cleaning of the burnt guace from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energer sviðable in atilized from the explosive mixture, which gives us much 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 hos. radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the pitcu gete bot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gases to form carbou why there is still enough beat maintained to handle the explosire mixture 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 barat gases works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it kopa pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely,dals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor in drawn.

-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out.

All parte in the Willys-Knight car an sembled with wide clearance, between each other and sil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of oil instead of wearing out In other words, every bearing in this motor in an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with rabequant quick - wear and noise.

4

It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two,quick wearing parte necessary in the operation of a cylinderel poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as cams striking against push rods, push rods against Talve steins; or valve heads snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
