Modest Spark Plug Element

A NDALUSITE may mean nothing to the
average reader, yet it is unlikely that the
average reader does not employ it every day.
It is a little known mineral, which is prac-
tically indispensable to the manufacturer of
high grade spark plugs for automobiles and
airplanes. 1t comes mainly from the high alti-
tudes of the Inyo Mountains of California and
is transported on burro back over a trail four
and half miles long, down to the valley, 5000
feet below.
Associated with andalusite are two other
minerals of exactly the same chemical compo-
sition, but entirely different physical proper
ties. The two others are kyanite and Silliman-
ite All three are sometimes referred to inds-
criminately as sillimanite.
Prehistoric implements made of compact
sillimanite are found in Western Europe and
have a certain resemblance to jade imple-
ments, but the mineral was named in honor of
Benjamin Silliman, the elder, who was born in
1779, states Alice v. Petar, in report just pub
lished by the Bureau of Mines.
The commercial utilization of this group Of
aluminium silicate minerals is q recent develop
ment. 1t had its beginnings during the World
War in the search for a suitable insulating
material for spark plugs. The synthetic porce-
lain insulators available at that time did not
meet the demands placed upon them in war
time service in airplane engines
In the course of tests at the Bureau Of
Standards some years ago on spark plug porce-
lains it was determined that, in q good spark
plug porcelain, the quartz should be eliminated
from the composition and replaced by some
other substance. Artificial sillimanite was
used in the manufacture of porcelain, but was
found to be impractical commercially. Natural
sillimanite, found in the Inyo Mountains in
California, then developed for this purpose.
Although it is in the manufacture Of spark
plugs that the andaluSite minerals have been
most widely used, these materials have various
other industrial uses. They are employed in
the production of laboratory ware, including
crucibles, casseroles, evaporating dishes and
other heat-resiSting articles. Mullte refrac-
tories are used in the glass industry. Recent
tests indicate that in firing electrical porcelain,
saggerS containing kyanite have a much longer
life than those made from ordinary mixtures.
Kyanite has likewise been used, more less
experimentally in spark plugs, for refractory
brick, in electrical porcelain and chinaware,
and in glass and enamelWare
Kyanite produced from a very large deposit
in Imperial County, Calf, is used in the man
ufacture of various ceramic materials for the
porcelain, white ware and electrical insulator
trade and including super -refractories in the
form of prepared grains, cements and finished
raw materials together with line of refrac-
tory brick and shapes for the glass industry
Dumortierite is used with andaluste in tho
manufacture of porcelain for spark plugs The
only commercial deposit now known is in
Pershing County, New

Strangely, this realization dawned, nearly
simultaneously upon the three of them, sparing
Winstead the almost unbearable pain of telling
them their hour had struck

1t was with sense of what seemed positive
relief that Beatty captulated. Actually, his
old face seemed for the first time to allow itself
to fall into the luxury of wrinkles.

There was not any money scare. Winstead,
of course would see to that, and besides the
Horizons, Beatty and Alicia Simple-living,
supplemented folk, had put by their little
penny
1t was fear of Winstead that lay in their
hearts. This boy, never out of his parents

day of their retirement had begun to cast itself

fellow. No good at money, for instance. Had

much for taxcab. So much for lunches and

subject. 1t took all his mother could do
to keep after him effectively with muInerS
rnbbers and precaution about drafts. No good
at eating well. His father forever giving
him the second helpings of food without his
knowing it, stacking his plate when his
attention diverted and then insisting that
he eat
But I have eaten. father. Didn't you slip
some potatoes on my platter"
Nonsense. Eat, say!"
Imagine boy like that, q helpless, O6-in-

better. The Horizons purchased for them
selves the inevitable chicken farm in New
Jersey, that haven of all good retired vaude-

pretty duet singing that marked them for al
most instantaneous success.
After a tryout in Newark, Winstead and
Yvette were booked 4O-week cycle and
the pair of the Older Horizons settled down to
what gallant resignation they could muster.
And muster they did, except it actually did
seem that with the letting down Of the strain

the circuit, Beatty and Alicia were destined to
fall apart like the proverbial one-hoss shay.
