Although most motor car manu-
facturers are developing their
power plants along high compress-
:ion lines to meet the demand of
the buyer fora ear of the highest
efficiency, this phase of engineer-
ing dates back almost 15 years in-
sofar as the Willys-Knight sleeve-
valve engine is concerned. This
fact is creating more interest than
usual in the new Willvs-Knight
sixes presented by the Willys-Over-
land Company, Tided°, Ohio, the
I largest builders of Knight-engined
ears in the world.
Since the production of the first
Willys-Knight car in 1915, the
Willys-Overland Company has paid
special attention to high compres-
sion in order to obtain maximum
performance.
Many automotive experts who
have made a careful analysis of
the sleeve valve engine used in the
Willys-Knight cars attribute its
successful high compression per-
formance to its distinct design.
stating that it is unusually well
adapted to high efficiency work.
