I HOW AMERICAN PLUCK ANO
I GENIUS BAFFLES THE BRITISH
SBBBia I v
HH Continued from pago 1.
H 1 tho Daimler power plant with tho
H - Knight sleeve valvo principle, tho Hug-
HH llah manufacturers announced to the
HI ' world that they had adopted th0 new
HB motor, convinced that It was far m
HB j ndvnnco of nny other typo of engine
BB i So, In England, the Invention of Chas.
BB Y. Knight, or Chicago, was first pub-
BB Hcly recognized by automobile mnnu-
BB facturors.
BB Thon camo tho storm of criticism
BB a blast from every other English man-
BB ufacturor. "Tho new motor was only
BB good In theory It had not been prov-
BB en It wag a froak why weren't pop-
BB ' i pet valv6!rifftuos good enough wh)
BB I hadn't America recognized this en-
BB sine?" la short, Knight and tho Datm-
BB lor Company faced the same biting
BB blasts of criticism, denunciation and
HB. Ignoranco that wbb borno by Alexand-
BH er Graham noil, Morse, Prof. Langley
BB 'I and every other true discoverer and
BB 1 Inventor.
BB Rivals Demand a Test.
BB But sorvlco In the hands of owneia
BB uoon proved the Knight motor. It
BB raoro than fulfilled the claims made
BB for it. Daimler sales doubled then
BH trebled. Then tho other British mnnu-
BJ facturors becaino badly worried. I.aclc-
BB lng any tanglblo proof of the claims
BH made against the Knight motor, hut
BB secure in tho belief that It could not
BBT "o as good as represented, they do-
BB manded a test -an olllclal trial by
mo itoyul Automobile Club, tho high
tit technical uutliorlty on motoring
in Great Hrltaln, and n body composed
ut engineers for whom designers the
world over lunc profoutid respeca.
The manufacturers demanding this
trial felt certain that tho Knight mo
toi could not "make good" that It
uat proe false.
'. -o Da.mler peoplu at first did not
ca e one whit whether their motors
were tried by tho It A. C. or not
their sales had uecr been as good in
all the history of the company Daim
ler stock was advancing by leaps and
bounds. Still In a way they were
glad of an opportunity to prove to
the world Just how good the new mo
tor read) was.
Daimler Accepts the Challenge.
Tho longer they thought over tho
Idea of a test the more willing they
wero to onter it, but not on tho terms
prescribed by the Club. "No," said
tho Daimler people. "If we submit
these engines to the test, wo will mako
It worth while and Impose conditions
more stringent than any over ncard
of In the history of motoring. Wo will
proo our motors conclusively, and wo
will set a Btandard that no other man
ufacturer will over attempt to equal."
And tho Daimler people handed In
such a rovlslon of tho specifications
and conditions that no ono could be
lieve that thoy were In earnest.
"You surely don't want us to sub
mit your new motors to these rules,"
duld tho Royal Automobllo club In ef
fect. "Why It would bo suicide for
you no motor ever mndo could stand
up under such a test we won't do It.
"Yes you will," cnnio the grim to
sponso from tho Daimler company.
"You will try out our motors In thfa
way or wo will not hesltnto to publish
tho fact that tho Hoyal Automobile
club refuses to put our motors to sucrt
tests."
The result of thnt trial Is hlstorv
Not only wns it never attempted bo
fore, but no poppet valvo manufactur
er has over dared to submit his en
glno to tho same test, since
"The Greatest Engine Test on
Record."
For one hundred und thirty-two
hours five and one-half iluyj two
Dalmlcr-Knlglit sleeve valve motors
ono of 33 h. p. and ono of 22 8 (It.
A. C. rating), wero run undpr load,
the larger motor at 1200 reol
pet minute, thn other 1400.
During that time tho 33 h. p. motor
developed 14 h p. and the '12 '! p.
developed 38 horse power.
Thin overrating condition was Im
posed by the Daimler people them
selves and had nevor been considered
possible before Another condition
voluntarily Imposed was that If either
of the motors stopped once from any
fault of theler own, or it tho power
developed was at any time less than
30 per cont more than the rating, the
test should officially bo called a fall
uro When tho trial started, the con
consus of opinion among nil Ilrltir
manufacturers of poppet valvo motors
was that It was impossible for any .no
tor to go through it successfully
Motors Develop Wonderful Power
At End of Test.
' But, noto. For tho ono hundred and
thirty-two hours from 6:00 a, m.,
March lGth, to 6:00 p. m March 20th,
. these two motors (watched day j
night by a committee of exports), rai
steadily, smoothly and sweetly. Ever,
minute of tho test they developed
more than tho 30 per cent excess pow
er specified by tho rules.
At the end of this period tho en
gines wor0 put back Into tho cars ar
quickly driven 'cross country to t
famous Hrooklands track., with double
relajs of drivers, covering C00 mllei
n day. Still tho engines had not
"missed a shot."
The required 2000 miles wero com
pleted at an nvorago speed of 42 miles
per hour. Then tho enrs were driven
hack to tho testing room ngnln nnd
the engines put back on the rack for
a final test of flvo hours.
Marvelous to relate, tho power de
veloped at tho second test was greater
than nt tho first, seemingly an Impos
sibility, and novcr heard of beforo in
tho world's history of automobllo man
ufacture. Tho 38 h. p. motor dovel
oped f7 horso power, thrco horse pow
er more than during the original one
hundred and thirty-two hours luu,
whllo the 22 h p. motor dovolopcd
nearly two horso power more than at
tho beginning.
Is It any wonder thnt no poppet
vr.lv o nmnufucturer Is willing to sub
mit his motor to such a test? No
vor It Is physically Impossible for anj
ordinary (or poppet valvo) motor to
mako such a showing. And right
hero Is tho secret of this wonderfu
engine ltB power steadily Increases
whllo in use.
Hut to return to tho test. At the
finish tho engines wore tnken to piec
es and the wearing parts subjected to
a most searching examination by the
olllclal club experts In charge of thn
test Wo quote below brief extracts
ilium the olllclal Hoyal Automobile
club icport:
"No perceptible wear was noticeable
on any of tho fitted surfaces."
"The cylinders nnd pistons were
found to bo notably clean." (That Is,
free from carbon.)
"Tho ports of the valves showed no
burning or wear."
Tho storm of criticism was stilled.
I The test demanded by rival manufac
turers proved tho worst boomerang In
England's automobile hlBtory. Tho vin
dication of tho Knight sleeve valve
motor was as complete as the test It
self
What The Test Amounted To.
Think what this test amounted to
In tho duration of It tho motors ro
celved hardor treatment than would
have been given them In two yenrs
of ordinary service. Flvo nnd om
half days at 1200-1400 revolutions per
minute, nnd under load nil tho time I
Yet "No perceptible wear was not.ci
ablo."
Almost ton million revolutions o
tho crank shaft of the larger motor,
and over oloven million of tho smaller
;whllo running on tho testing rack
2000 miles each on the Drooklanas
track (a total consumption altogether
of 1,333 gallons of goBcllne) yet "tho
cjllndcrs and pistons were found to be
notably clean."
Over 30 per cent excess power de
veloped all during the engine test
the average specified spepd exceeded
while on tho Hrooklanda track yet
"The ports of the valves showed no
burning or wear."
After all, Is not the word "marvol
ous" justified In tho description of
such a test?
There then you have tho story! Tho
genius of a great Inventor Knight
has been combined with the genius of
a groat manufacturer StearnB to
produco tho Steams-Knight, tno typo
of car destined to bocome the Btan
dard of high grado motor car practice.
Is it any wonder that Mr. Thatcher
feels a prido In acting as tho agent
of such a car? If you question the
