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 six

nnnecessary.

The Knight, motor is steam prinsiple. 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 egreas of the gases without obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gas from the combustion chamber than any other type of mator, so that every ounce of energy available is utilized from the explosive mistare, which gives us such tremendous power

-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean

The comimstion chamber is completely surrounded by water and ab alloy piston noted for its great hos zadiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston geta hot enough to bake the resin from the exposed gases tò form carbon while there is still enough, best maintained to handle the explosive mixtare effectively,

."

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

While carbos can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the Lurat gases works op behind the wide sealing xing in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it kept pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it campistaly 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.

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

*

It has eliminated uns hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts nosemary in the operation of a cylindered poppet vain motor. There are no hammering parts such as cams striking against push rods, punk rods againni valve stems, or valve heade snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
