 ENGINE BUILT
 BY AMERICAN
NOT ONLY CATERPILLAR TRACKS BUT POWER PLANT ALSO
 MADE HERE

Endless columns of newspaper com mcnt have emphasized the fact that 1t was an American, Henry Holt, whose invention of the perfected caterpillar tread made possible the success of the British tanks, the singe spectacular addition of the great war to the list of engines of destruction. Yet very little comment has been aroused by the fact 70 an American also is due the credit Tor the powerful and reliable motors hat furnish the almost irresistible 'orce that drives the tanks through rhell-craters, brick walls or Obstruc- .ions of almost any nature. To Chas. Y. Knight who is wintering in Pasa- dena, Cal, inventor of the sleeve valve motor, belongs the credit for furnish ing the motor design to which the British engineers turned when they sought the utmost power and rcliabil- 'ty in an engine for the tanks.
 Mr. Knight recently gave Lynn C. Buxton, southern California and Ari- Eona distributor for the Sterns Knight motor car some very interesting de- tails of the motors employed by the British war machines. bit of inside history of the tanks. so to speak,
 Something like six years ago." said Mir. Knight the Daimler company in england was called upon to build d motor to furnish power for a huge tractor built in Lincolnshire. The tractor was used in pulling what was known as the Renard train, a series of ,railers
 The Renard train was designed to take the place of rail transportation in out of-the-way places. and was quite extensively used in hauling ore. sup plies, etc, in desert and mountainous regions. Tho very nature of the ser rice demanded the utmost reliability in the power plant as well as huge power
 Tn building largo motors of the pop pet valve type large valves are a neces- sity. and cause even more trouble than do the small poppct valves because they are even more liable to warp. and seat improperly. This. among other considerations, led the Daimler com pany to adopt the Knight design for this work. and they built a huge mo- tor, with six cylinders, and six inch bore and six inch stroke. They were jf the slow-speed type, developing 106 horse power at 1000 revolutions per minute and proved very satisfactory m the tractor service.
 When the British army officers set about Nto build the first tanks. Col. ttdIk SedIle or lne Ddlinlcr MOtOr company, turned immediately to this oig Knight tractor motor as the solu- ton of the power plant problem. Col. Searle was chief engineer of the Lon lon Omnibus company before going to tho Daimler and was thoroughly famil- far with the wonderful service of the Knight motors in the eXacting omnibus work.
 T am informed that each tank is powered with two of these huge Knight motors. The tanks maximum speed is about 4 miles per hour. and the gear reduction from the motors is 14 to 1. That means that the two biz Knights develop the equivalent of over 2500 horsepower at this speed, which explains, perhaps the remarkable featS which the tanks are able to perform"

 One of the events in which the King demonstrated it's quality was it's whining of the Royal automobile run from Landsend, in the southwestern section of England to John O Grotes, in the extreme northeastern section of Scotland. This is the longest drive in the islands. The first cars to finish were two King ''eights,' dne piloted by Finch and the other by his wife. The cars were sealed in high gear and were in perfect condition at the conclu- sion of the run.

EFFICIENCY MUST BE WATCHWORD IF
 MOTOR INDUSTRY

Tn this period of world upheaval the question to ask oneself is: Am efficient%" says Sales Manager Lilienthal of the Kissel Auto company.
 We all owe the best that is in us to the great cause our country is fight ing for. Are you giving it? Are you equipped to give it? Are you making the most of your time?
 The automobile is one of the most potent means of putting you on edge for your work and getting you to it quickly. It is an all important link in the nations transportation system. It is a preserver of health, and a builder of energy. It minimizes miles, demol- ishes distance.
