A PLUG-TESTING HINT.
_ Many motorists are under the impression that there is no means of testing the spark at the terminal of the sparking plug without receiving a shock unless a _ screwdriver, hammer, or other tool with an insulated handle be used. An all-metal spanner can be used just as well if care be taken to put one end of
it in contact with the cylinder block first, subsequently bringing the spanner nearer the terminal until a gap sufficiently small for the spark to jump is obtained. When removing the spanner or other tool, care should be taken not to lift the earthed end until the other part is sufficiently far from the terminal to avoid accidental contact.
