MOTOR IMPROVES WITH AGE.
Dealer Explains Functions of the
sleeve Typo Engine.

According to G. T. Silver, New York dis
tributer for Willys-Knight cars, the Aid-
ing sleeve valve motor In much Like old
wine, in that II improves with ago instead
OF deteriorating. "Of the many features
on the WHY'S Knight motor which stand
out over the old poppst valve type, one OF
the best IL that II becomes better and
more efficient with use" says Mr.. Silver.
Naturally this II an unheard of propen-
city in the ordinary gasolene motor, for II
IL universally conceded that the poppet
valve motor becomes noisler and less en-
cient the longer II In used
THE reason why the Knight type motor
improves with age In that there Is no
vulnerable part to wear out and become
noisy like the valves In the old style en-
CINE. For instance. q minute particle of
carbon under q valve may prove the de-
struction OF tho old mushroom type. And
bearing on this II IL a fact that every en-
gineer mpresses upon the motorist to keep
hts cylinders free from carbon. as even
the smallest particle Of this suhstan In
very short time will destroy the valve
seat. This Is because the carbon in pre-
venting tho valves from seating tightly
permits the red hot gas to escape and to
which part Of the compressed mixture es-
capes."
Following out this theory OF efficiency In
tho WHY'S Knight. Mr.. Silver point. on,
that al the Knight type valves are not ex-
pected to heat there Is no opportunity for

Visitors to the Cleveland plant of the

sight of top speed production In the So
called dull season. Motor car makers
generally prepare for the slack summer
months by laying off surplus help, but
the Chandler company has been COM
PEELED to increase It's manufacturing force

weeks ago has brought results that have

Hrnise, vice-president and sales manager

with other makers we expected to pass

featuring activities about this time OF

been entirely eliminated for US by the
results OF our 1915 announcement.
THE fact that we are in a position

Piston Displacement
Limit.

Announcements has been made by Carl
Fiscer. ovnes OF the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, that for 1916 and succeeding
years the piston displacement limit for
cars taking part in this biggest OF national
racing events will be 900 inches This
years racing demonstrated the soundness
OF one engineering principle above every
thing else. The opponents OF the high
speed. high efficiency. foreign type Of
motor of small bore have triumphed. The
small Peugeot which finished second. aver
nglng over eighty miles AN hour and
travelling at times over ninety miles an
hour. had "A piston displacement Of only
1873 inches. Among high grade American
cars such "A motor has until the past sea-
son been considered too small TO deserve
even serious consideration. when the wide
awake American manufacturers. the
Thomas b jeffrey Company of Kenosha
introduced this foreign type into America
last fall In n moderate priced car with a
poston displacement OF 23l inches. At
the time this WAS considered n very small
motor by some engineers, who chung to
the old theory OF bulk but In tho light OF
recent events IL is shown to he n big
motor by comparison with some of the
most successful foreign cars and certainly
ample to develop sufficient power TO drive
a car OF about $500 pounds In weight at
fifty miles per hour or better.
The earlier announcements OF motor car
manufacturers for the coming season
would indicate that the high speed. high
efficiency. small bore motor will almost
entirely replace the bulkler type within
the year. The use OF the lighter type.
high speed motor permits OF a lighter
chassis. provided the highest grade ma
terials are used to insure strength and
sturdiness.
The earlier opponents OF the high speed
Idea advanced the argument of greater
vibration and greater wear on parts be-
cause OF excessive piston speed against
the light high speed motor.
