Traffic Rules Bring
Question of Car Size
to Fore, Says VeGe

Traffic conditions due to the rapid
multiplication Of automobiles have
brought the question of the size OF the
car sharply to the fore.
The motoring public long ago made
five passenger room the standard or
seating space, as is witnessed by its
almost universal adoption for the lead
ing models Of well known lines. With
this recognized standard of room build.
ers have Wed in the development OF
liEhtness of weight consistent with
ample strength, car balance and com
Portable riding qualities.
Today the congestion in streets, roads
and parking places gives another I'M
portance to the size. Motorists o TOR
the cars that can be handled most
easily in a flock of automobiles, turned
in narrow streets and readily parked
at curbs.
There are almost as many women
and girl drivers as men. and they also
have, had a voice in determining the
size that meets the conditions.
To ascertain the experience and pre-
ference of motorists on car size the
Velie Motors corporation made a wide
spread investigation.
With all returns in, the conclusion
announced by the Velie is that the
u~heelbase of 115 inches provides for a
car of Just the right size" for the
majority.
In support Of this finding it is
instanced that some of the Oldest and
most prominent manufacturers that
have been building cars Of longer
nheelbase have now centered their pro-
duction on cars of this size or near it.
The economy of the car of this size
range is also adduced as one of its
arguments.

.Hupp Company Adds
Deal of Floor Space,
by New Construction

In accordance with a building pro-
gram adopted in the ~neighborhood of
three years ago, the Hupp Motor Car
corporation is now adding new con-
struction to its big plant on East Mil
waukee venue in Detroit which will
increase the factory floor space by
more than a half million square feet.
Completion Of the new buildings now
under process of erection will give the
Hupmobile main plant a total floor
space of not less than 100000 square
feet with as modern equipment and
building design, it is said, as can be
found in the industry.
In addition to the main plant in De-
troit there are five subsidiary Hupmo-
bile manufacturing properties. four OF
which are owned by the Hupp Motor
Car corporation and the fifth control
ed by it, all of the products Of which
are devoted to Hupmobile production.
These are: A factory for gear and

ABOUT STORAGE BATTERIES

This is a little warning about stor-
age batteries. The radio department
of the Evening Mail has received q
number of complaints from its readers
who have purchased storage batteries
which proved to be almost worthless
after a little service. In every instance
the name of the battery proved that it
was a newcomer. In one case the
name was as close to that of a well
known battery maker as the law would
allow.
When you buy a storage battery you
buy a cat in a bag unless YOU pur-
chase one made by well known manu-
~facturers. who believe strongly enough
in their products to give your money
back if the battery falls down in ser
vice. All of the good manufacturers
do that.-New York Evening Mail.

ON ROAD

Courtesy on the road among motor
lists is akin to safety and a new "cour-
tesy" series Of suggestions is now
being issued for the. thousands OF
motorists in this section of the coun-
try.
Lack Of courtesy, it is pointed out
often leads TO recklessness. which in
turn leads to accidents. Therefore
motorists are asked t. read the follow
ing courtesy rules and see if they wish
them:
/. When a man approaching you
from behind sounds his horn as a
signal that he wishes to pass, don't
step on it," Draw over TO the right
and let him go by.
.. Do not use more than your
half of the road. thus crowd:ng others
into the ditch.
3. 1t is not courteous to steal a
parking space from p man who is just
getting ready to back into il.
! Do not imagine that every
motorist on the road who tries to
pass you is starting 4 race. He may
be on important business.
). When you pass a man from be
hind going in the same direction do not
cut in directly in front of him. This
is discourteouE.
6. De not shove another mans
car along the curb TO make room for
yours. thus jamming his car agains,
a fire plug or the car ahead.
Z. It is discourteous to halt be-
hind a traffic jam and honk your
horn.
$. Th correct giving of hand signals
is courteous as well as safe.

When it is said that carbon does the
knight engine good, l fear a lot Of ter
ritory is being taken up. Z
On the knight engine there is moth
ing to see that moves except perhaps
the fan. The working parts are all
inside the engine. I
The subject of fabrication is most
important in a knight. If fabrication
should fail for even a short period, the
sleeves will stick. These sleeves are
closely fitted and they slide over each
other on a film of oil. Not much oil
is needed to provide a film, but SO
many owners neglect to fill the crank
case daily that we can assume an equal
number would get into trouble by
starving the knight engine. However,
in the poppet, the pistons will seize
and then regrinding of cylinders and
new pistons will be needed. In the
knight new sleeves may be inserted
without touching the cylinder bore.
There is ono point. however, regard
ing bearings that is important. Bear
ing wear in the Knight requires more
skill in fitting than the poppets be-
cause the fl of the eccentric shaft
rect sleeve operation and timing.
In the winter time the Knight is
harder t. start than the poppet be-
cause the oil introduces excessive fric-
ton since it congeals around the
sleeves and on the cylinder wall. There
being so much surface area. the crank
ing in cold weather is difficult. One
must use the right grade of winter oil
and see that the battery always is
charged.
Knight Motors Long Lived
While winter starting is not easier
than in a poppet. the Knight engine
usually shows less fractional horse
power than a poppet, that is, it takes
less power simply to crank the en-
CINE. This may seem strange in view
of the large sleeve areas but it is true
when we compar engines of equal
size and power. The poppet valve
gear takes more power to operate. be-
cause of the spring pressure used and
we must add to that the friction of the
valves in their guides, and the follow
ers against the cams, etc.
American manufacturers have sue
ceeded in producing fairly cheap
Knight engines. 1t was always thought
that this type required the greatest
of skill and hand fitting and that
therefore it would always remain a
high priced engine. of course on the

QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT
THE KNIGHT ENGINE.

THE KNIGHT ENGINE.
1 have literally been besieged with
letters recently regarding certain cars
equipped with the knight engine and
it appears from the inquiries that many
matters are still to be cleared up.
The knight engine came into being
as the result of the efforts of Charles
Y. Knight to do away with the noise
of the poppet engines made in his
time. But the finished knight engine
showed numerous advantages apart
from silence. The knight engine has
no camshaft but instead it has an &C.
centric shaft which has small connect
ing rods attached to it. These small
rods drive two sleeves n within the
other and both operating inside the
one cylinder. Thus in a four-cylinder
knight engine there are eight sleeves
operated by eight small connecting
rods. Within in the inner sleeve is
the usual piston and connecting rod
attached to the crankshaft. The
sleeves move up and down slowly and
only for a short distance. Instead of
having poppet valves the valves for
intake and exhaust are in the form of
holes or ports cut into the sleeves.
Knight Has Ideal Combustion
The sleeves move at different speeds
but when the port in one sleeve is
aligned with the port in the other and
both ports line up with the intake pas
sage. the gas rushes into the cylinder.
The sleeves then nov down and the
ports are sealed and at a certain point
firing takes place after which. two
other ports on the opposite sides of
the sleeves register with the exhaust

out. The action is very simple. The
four-cycle principle is used just as in a
poppet valve engine and with the ex-
ception of the valve gear the engines
are much the same.
Knight engines have certain advan-
tages which are worthy of considera-
ton and some slight disadvantages as
compared with the poppets. In the
Knight there is little trouble in get
ting an almost ideal shape of combus-
ton space. so that there is less loss of
power from this source.
The big point always mentioned in
connection with the knight is its abil-
ity to run longer without carbonizing.
Now, the knight will carbonize just
like any other engine. but the carbon
does not result in interference with
valve efficiency. In the poppet the
carbon gets on the valve seat and face
and causes the valves to leak. In the
knight the carbon collects around the
exhaust port and simply makes The
port a little smaller. 1t is quite easy
to remove it.

1t takes a long mileage to get suffi-
cient carbon around a port to make
any difference in engine performance
But carbon will form on the pistons
and cylinder head and cause the same

A VALVE GRINDING TIP

When grinding valves be careful not
to let particles of emery get into the
cylinders. These particles are harder
than castiron, and if some of the emery
is caught between the cylinder walls
and the piston they never stop grinding.
When completing the job carefully wipe
all the emery from the valve, and seat
and finish with kerosene or gasoline
on a cloth as an extra pr~ecautlon.
