The present paper deals with calculations based on a standard model of cosmic ray acceleration in Supernova remnants (SNR) and on the latest astronomical data concerning the variety in Supernovae types, energies as well as the sites of their explosions. The results obtained allow explaination of the main features of all particle cosmic ray spectrum, including the 'knee'. This conclusion is based essentially on the premise that energy of accelerated CR in the given SNR is proportional to the kinetic energy of this explosion, that stresses the input of high energy explosions and suppresses the contribution of low energy explosions to the total CR flux.
