23-631: Construction on the Stride Bank Center began in May 2011. The building was designed by Convergence Design and constructed by Key Construction as part of the Enid Renaissance project, a $ 24 million project which included the renovation of Convention Hall and the addition of 1,100 additional parking spaces in the downtown area. The former Geronimo Motor Company building was torn down for parking accommodations. It opened on June 15, 2013 with

46-434: A V engine layout. However, there are various exceptions to this, such as the straight-eight engines used by various luxury cars from 1919-1954, V4 engines used by some marine outboard motors, V-twin and flat-twin engines used by motorcycles and flat-four engines used by various cars. Straight engines (also known as "inline engines") have all cylinders aligned in one row along the crankshaft with no offset. When

69-618: A 122-inch wheelbase. One model was a roadster , the other a five-passenger tourer . Geronimo also produced cars under the marque Wing for export to France. The cars were distributed by agencies across the Midwest, in Kansas, Nebraska, West Texas, and Oklahoma. The 4A-40 was priced at $ 895, the 6A-45 at $ 1,295. By contrast, the Cole 30 and Colt Runabout were $ 1,500, the Model S $ 700, and

92-512: A bond issue for the construction of a building to memorialize the efforts of Garfield County soldiers in World War I. Sealed bids were accepted until September 1, 1919 on bonds of $ 250,000 for the construction of the convention hall. The building was constructed at a cost of $ 500,000 with an original capacity of 5,000. It was designed by the architectural firm Layton, Smith and Forsyth and constructed by Bass and Frankenfield Builders. It served as

115-618: A field near LaCross, Kansas, in 1972. It is now owned by the Enid Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America , and is still regularly used in parades and community historical events. Four-cylinder engine The engine configuration describes the fundamental operating principles by which internal combustion engines are categorized. Piston engines are often categorized by their cylinder layout, valves and camshafts. Wankel engines are often categorized by

138-470: A meeting place for the Enid Chamber of Commerce. The hall served as a venue for stage productions including plays such as Hitchy-Koo and Al G. Field minstrel shows and for musicians such as John Philip Sousa , Ernestine Schumann-Heink , Bob Wills , and Fred Waring . President George Bush spoke at the venue while campaigning in 1992. The original hall was four stories tall, and had two balconies:

161-415: A single cylinder block and cylinder head . These engines use a single cylinder head so are technically a straight engine with the name "VR" coming from the combination of German words “Verkürzt” and “Reihenmotor” meaning “shortened inline engine”. Flat engines (also known as "horizontally-opposed" engines) have the cylinders arranged in two banks on either side of a single crankshaft. Boxer engines are

184-533: A sports venue in Oklahoma is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Geronimo Motor Company Geronimo was a pioneer vintage era American automobile , built at 409 South Grand in Enid, Oklahoma , between 1917 and 1920. It was what would today be called an "assembled car", relying on proprietary parts from outside suppliers. In addition, the company made tractors. The Geronimo Motor Company

207-988: A straight bank with the name "VR" coming from the combination of German words “Verkürzt” and “Reihenmotor” meaning “shortened inline engine”. Radial engines have cylinders mounted radially around a central crankcase. Rotary engines have a similar configuration, except that the crankshaft is fixed and the cylinders rotate around it. (This is different from the Wankel engine configuration described below.) Radial and rotary engine designs were widely used in early aircraft engines . U engines consist of two separate straight engines (complete with separate crankshafts) joined by gears or chains. Most U engines have four cylinders (i.e. two straight-two engines combined), such as square four engines and tandem twin engines . Similar to U engines, H engines consist of two separate flat engines joined by gears or chains. H engines have been produced with between 4 and 24 cylinders. An opposed-piston engine

230-419: A straight engine is mounted at an angle, it is sometimes called a "slant engine". Types of straight engines include: V engines (also known as "Vee engines") have the cylinders aligned in two separate planes or 'banks', so that they appear to be in a "V" when viewed along the axis of the crankshaft. Types of V engines include: VR5 and VR6 engines are very compact and light, having a narrow V angle which allows

253-431: A subtype of flat engines where opposing pistons move in and out in tandem. Types of flat engines include: W engines have the cylinders in a configuration in which the cylinder banks resemble the letter W, in the same way those of a V engine resemble the letter V. Types of W engines include: W engines using twin "VR" engine banks are technically a V8 engine. These engine banks use a single cylinder head so are technically

276-707: A Δ when viewed along the axis of the main-shaft. An example of this type of layout is the Napier Deltic . Wankel engines (sometimes called 'rotary engines') can be classified based on the number of rotors present. Most production Wankel engines have two rotors, however engines with one, three and four rotors have also been produced. Wankel engines can also be classified based on whether they are naturally aspirated or turbocharged . Most Wankel engines are fueled by petrol, however prototype engines running on diesel and hydrogen have been trialed. Gas turbine engines— mostly used for aircraft— are usually separated into

299-504: Is essentially two V engines joined by a common crankshaft. A majority of these were existing V-12 engines converted into an X-24 configuration. The Swashplate engine with the K-Cycle engine is where pairs of pistons are in an opposed configuration sharing a cylinder and combustion chamber. A Delta engine has three (or its multiple) cylinders having opposing pistons, aligned in three separate planes or 'banks', so that they appear to be in

322-449: Is referred to as a 'cylinder bank'. The angle between cylinder banks is called the 'bank angle'. Engines with multiple banks are shorter than straight engines of the same size, and will often have better engine balance characteristics, resulting in reduced engine vibration and potentially higher maximum engine speeds. Most engines with four or less cylinders use a straight engine layout, and most engines with eight cylinders or more use

345-400: Is similar to a flat engine in that pairs of pistons are co-axial but rather than sharing a crankshaft, instead share a single combustion chamber per pair of pistons. The crankshaft configuration varies amongst opposed-engine designs. One layout has a flat/boxer engine at its center and adds an additional opposed-piston to each end so there are two pistons per cylinder on each side. An X engine

368-671: The Cleveland Cavaliers . In addition to hosting concerts and high school sports, the arena was home to the Oklahoma Storm , a basketball team in the USBL . The Skeltur Conference Tournament was held at the arena from 1964 to 2012. In May 2011, city officials attended a groundbreaking to begin the Enid Renaissance Project which would renovate Convention Hall. W. L. McNatt and Company, of Oklahoma City

391-563: The Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. Stride Bank Center was previously named the Enid Event Center & Convention Hall (June 15, 2013—June 13, 2016), and Central National Bank Center (June 14, 2016—March 21, 2019). It was renamed the Stride Bank Center on March 22, 2019. In 1919, Milton C. Garber , then mayor of Enid, and his commissioner aides, G. W. Pancoast and Jason W. Butts, proposed

414-556: The first of which holds 995 people and the second 667 people. The floor measures at 109 feet (33 m) long by 67 feet (20 m) wide, and can hold 600 people. The ceiling is 40 feet (12 m) high, and the stage measures at 37 feet (11 m) wide and nearly 30 feet (9.1 m) long. The Mark Price Arena was a 2,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Enid, Oklahoma located in Convention Hall , named in 1993 after basketball player Mark Price who played for Georgia Tech and

437-532: The high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout was $ 650. Despite its price, the Geronimo proved popular enough that the company built a new 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m ) factory on the outskirts of Enid, completed in the fall of 1917. As a result, both production and capitalization expanded, and in January 1919, the company sold another $ 500,000 in stock. By 1919, unit price had climbed as high as $ 1995, into

460-453: The number of rotors present. Gas turbine engines are often categorized into turbojets, turbofans, turboprops and turboshafts. Piston engines are usually designed with the cylinders in lines parallel to the crankshaft . It is called a straight engine (or 'inline engine') when the cylinders are arranged in a single line. Where the cylinders are arranged in two or more lines (such as in V engines or flat engines ), each line of cylinders

483-410: The range of the $ 1750 FAL or $ 2,000 Enger 40. On 14 August 1920, the plant suffered a severe fire which did $ 250,000 in damage. Insurance only covered $ 65,000, and the company was forced to close. At its peak, between 40 and a peak of 125 workers were employed, producing and selling a total of 600 cars, though production levels may have reached 1000. Only one survives, a restored example found in
