Moline-Knight?

Knight is not part of the manufacturer's name.

A car with a Knight engine or related to a XXXX-Knight marque, then, like a Whippet?
Stupid question, the Whippet was a late 20s model...

No. To the best of my knowledge, this automaker constructed its own engines.

But I understand it right that the puzzle car has a Knight-type sleevevalve engine?

Right - this company was named for the Knights Templar, and included an illustration of one of these Knights in their logo. My source lists this car as a 1922 example.
