LONG LIFE OF A. C. SPARK PLUG
Important Tests Made on Liberty
Motors Abroad.

For a part 81 small the spark plug
was most vital factor In aerial war
fare during the four years and three
months OF fighting overseas.
None recognized this fact so we'll "a
the aviation experts of France, Eng
land and Italy, and the American en-
glneers who were responsible for the
creation OF the Liberty motor. They
knew that faulty spark plugs had
brought more allied planes and allied
aviators down than German guns. The
aviation records are replete with flights
that ended disas,rously because Of ig-
milton trouble.
There was Marchand the French
aviator. for example who attempted TO
fly from France TO Russia He reached
his "bombing' objective, dropping a
load OF propaganda circulars on Berlin
and limiting Of the damage he might
have done had he dropped INT instead
! But Marchand never reached tho Rus
sian frontier. Defective spark plugs
forced him TO make q landing IN Ger
man territory and he was captured,
Marchand's experience is only one OF
many instances where faulty spark plugs
turned whnt promised to be an achieve
ment into failure.
In designing the Liberty motor tho
American engineers were determined 10
overcome this costly and serious defect.
They called upon the spark plug manu-
facturels Of the United States to supply
them with plug that would stand UP
on this high speed. high compression
engine. The compression on the Liberty
motor is about 125 pounds to the square
inch. or approximately twice as high
as the compression OF the average auto
mobile engine
In submitting a plug for the Liberty
aviation motor the makers OF the AC
offered a plug OF the same basic design
as that which they build for automobiles
and motor trucks. To the amazement
OF the members OF the French. English
and Italian aviation commissions a
Liberty engine AC equipped ran for fifty
hours on the first official test without
Il change of spark plugs.
In dynamometer tests abroad, all the
way from seventy TO ninety spark plugs
OF foreign manufacturers had been re-
quired to run an aviation engine for
the same length OF time. Consequently
the record OF the AC was nothing short
OF a revelation to the allied aviation
commission.
