STRESS IS PLACED
ON SLEEVE VALVE
Advantages Claimed for the
Stearns. Knight Pointed Out
in Short History.
By ARTHUR FORAKER.

Seven years ago the English Daimler
Company. OF Coventry. England. an
nounced to the world that after exact
ing tests. carried on for more than
year, It had adopted the knight sleeve
valve principle In all it's motors.
Soon after this Mercedes. Of Ger
many; Minerva. Of Belgium. and Pan
hard. OF France. also adopted the
Knight principle. Each of these four
compan MES at the time the knight mo-
tor was adopted was the leading auto
mobile builder In It's own country. These
companies had highly developed and
perfected their own poppet-valve motors
and therefore. were loath to admit the
superiority Of the knight principle, and
II was only after the most grueling tests
that they decided to abandon their own
motors and adopt the sleeve valve type.
Sliding Valves Used.
The advantages OF the sleeve valve
motors are definite. indisputable. In
stead of clashing poppet-valves, raised
BY blows from steel cams and seated
by strong springs, 1t has sliding valves
cylindrically shaped sleeves. which glide
silently up and down In a film OF oil
Certain ports in these sleeves register
with each other and with the cylinder
ports at proper intervals. forming large
and direct passages for intake and ex-
haust gases.
Unlike the valves OF poppet-valve mo-
tors. these sleeve valves do not oper-
ate against strong springs and pres
sure OF gas in the cylinders. The sleeves
are not fitted tightly; their surfaces are
always covered with a film OF oil. and
their whole travel Is about one and one
half inch at half, the speed OF the
