INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY
NEW TYPE SPARK PLUG A new type of sparking plug is being marketed in Great Britain which has many special features. Made by the “Lodge” concern, it is an adaptation of the latest high efficiency aircraft plug as used in Spitfires, etc. The central electrode is specially cooled, and has an erosion resister, an electrical resistance which reduces the burning effect of the spark on the platinum-alloy points. The result is that the plug will withstand the intense heat of full power running in high compression engines whilst coping effectively with yjiy propensity to oil up when idling. It is claimed that this plug will run for well over 20,0UU miles without cleaning or adjustment, and thi-s in automobile engines which normally destroy a plug in a quarter of that mileage is phenominal. The plug is made in 14 m.m. size, with long or short reach, and sells in England at 12s 6d.
