Romance Of K.L.G. Plugs.

It seems rather difficult to find romance in business, yet the history of K.L.G. Sparking Plugs simply bristles with it.

Mr. Kenelin Lee Guinness was one of Eng land’s foremost racing car drivers just before the war, achieving many successes, chiefly with Sunbeam cars. Being unable to obtain sparking plugs that would satisfactorily stand up to rac ing conditions, he set about making his own, not on a commercial basis, but for the use of himself and his friends. When war broke out and the lessons learned in building racing cars were applied to aero engines, it was found that K.L.G. plugs were the most suitable, and ar rangements were made for commercial produc tion. The outstanding difference between K.L.G. and other plugs is the use of mica insulation instead of porcelain, but there are other features, not apparent to the eye of the casual observer.

So successful have these plugs proved that many of the outstanding flying and motoring achieve ments have been accomplished by their aid. Sir Malcolm Campbell used them to break the world’s land speed record, Kaye Don won the world’s motor boat record with them, and Cob ham, Hinkler, De Pinedo, Amy Johnson and Mollison used them in their Australian flights.

The new “K” range represents very important developments in sparking plug design, for never before has it it been possible to obtain a plug that would operate under every conceivable con dition presented by internal combustion engines.

This new range will fit practically all types of engine, and will operate on “hot” and “oily” engines without trouble. Smith, Sons and Rees Ltd., who are the distributors, will answer all inquiries gladly. The K.L.G. Plug is certainly “too good to miss.”
