| MOLINE KNIGHT radiator emblem with Sir Galahead |
"The Car of the Unfailing Service" as their slogan said, that won the the Chicago Reliability run and other endurance contests. As a result the cars were proudly referred to as DREADNOUGHT MOLINES. In 1914 the new president Vandervoort replaced MOLINE´s battleship emblem by a medallion featuring Sir Galahead, "the most perfect of King Arthur´s Knight´s." In 1920 the MOLINE - KNIGHT was continued in production under the new marque nameof R&V KNIGHT [Kimes, Clark].
