Remarkable Gain Is
Shown By Chrysler

Reports Of record gains by Chrys-
Ter in new ear registrations from all
parts of the country are being cited
by Chrysler executives as evidence
both of the remarkable public de-
mand which brought this compan.
from 9th place to 18th place in
automobile production in three years,
and as proof of steadily increasing
Chrysler gains throughout the coun-
try. Latest reports, officials point
out, carry extremely interesting
figures on the amazing strides the
company has made and is continuing
to make. Details complete for prac
tcally all states, including up To
March, show that Chrysler IS firmly
cntrcnchcd in the fourth position it
captured last year and that in reach
ing that position, it passed ahead OF
three of the strongest companies in
the automotive industry who were in
front of it year ago.
Gain Over Year Ago
The figures show further that the
nation wide Chryslcr gain over Janu-
AIRY of last year was at the remark
able rate of 81 per cent. This was
the second highest percentage of in
creased sales reached by an Amer
lean producer of automobiles on "A
quantity scale during the twelve
months. Chrysler sales officials ex-
press especial pleasure over the proof
that their product finds pronounced
favor in those sections of the country
where the ownership Of automobiles
is greatest and where the buying
public is best fitted to judge motor
ear values.

mobiles are owned per capita than

Sleeve Valve Design
Brings Efficiency

Several mechanical principles en-
bodied exclusively in sleeve valve
engines have enabled manufacturers
Of knight-cngined automobiles to lay
claim to four important features not
common to the usual poppct valve
engncd car. These features which
embrace, low up-keep. long life,
smooth running, and silent operation,
are based upon one fundamental en-
tcring into the design of knight en-
gines, -simplicity of valve mcchan-
ism. Passenger cars in this country
employing sleeve valve engines of
this type arc Willys-knight. Stcarns-
knight and Falcon-knight.
1t is due to the particular type Of
construction employed exclusively in
knight engines that makes it possible
to combine the features simultan-
cously into power plant which is
suited for installation in any size or
price Of car The four features refer
red to arc probably the most import
ant factors entering into the selec-
ton of car and these should make
particularly strong appeal to those
motorists not familiar with Knight
cngined design.
In the knight type Of engine posi-
lively operated sleeves control the
entry and exit of gases to the
cylinders as compared with the spring
tensioncd valves in the usual type
Of engine. BY employing two sleeves
for each cylinder to control the pass
ages of the gases, over $50 parts
are eliminated when comparing a
six cylinder Knight engine with a
poppct valve unit Of similar size.
Outside of the cylinder design and
the method Of operating the sleeves,
the construction of Knight engine
follows closely that used for other
forms of internal combustion engines.
Important Items
Two of the most important items
contributing toward the expense Of
maintaining an automobile. carbon

removal and valve rcgrinding, are
dispensed with in the knight type
engine. 1t is estimated that the rcgu-
lar performance of these two opera
tions alone which have to be per-
formed regularly to insure maximum
efficiency from a poppet valve engine,
is responsible for at least one half
the up-keep cost for car of this
type. The sleeves in knight en-
CINE take the place of the valves in
the usual form Of engine and as the
sleeves do not have any metal to
metal contact between themselves or
other parts of the engine due to the
presence Of q constant film of oil,
they arc not subjected to wear, car
bon formation or require adjustment
Of any kind. The presence of carbon
in the engine is more beneficial than
harmful as it helps to seal compress
sion and thereby allows the engine
to develop it's full power at all times.
Again, the sleeve method Of valving
assists in reducing vibration and
noise. Their action Is a simple, slid
ing motion working up and down in
side one another in each cylinder.
In the other forms of engines the
valves arc operated by cam. strik-
ing plunger which IN turn pushes
up the valve. The latter are return
ed to their seats by a spring which
often cxcrts a pressure as high as
100 ID. per square inch. The contacts
of the two cams with the plungcrs
and valves Of each cylinder are a
source of noise and vibration which
is not evidenced with the method of
sleeve operation in the knight en-
gines.
The officials of Willys- Overland
Inc. claim the life of knight engine
,nvuiu outiast that of a poppet valve
as all movements Of
sleeve valve engine are of the rota-
ting or sliding motions with conse-
quently little wear resulting. OF the
3OO, 900 Knight engined cars on the
roads here today, no case is known
where a car of this type has been
scrappcd because the power plant has
worn out.
