Early Motors Had
Hot Tube Instead
OF Spark Plugs

Motorists nowadays know the inn
portant function of the spark plugs,
but few realize that the first auto
mobiles sold in America were not
equipped with them.
In the original one-cylinder car,
according to H. Rabezzana, research
engineer, ignition was accomplished
by "hot tube" which had to be
preheated by the motorist, usually
with a blow torch, This "hot tube"
was one of the chief causes of UNI
certainty in pioneer motoring. 1t
was slow in reaching the right tenn
perature, uncertain and dangerous.
The first spark plugs were sur
prisingly bad, the engineer says, and
one OF them would not last a min
ute at wide open throttle IN a motor
OF today.
