KLG Sparking Plugs Ltd

Racing driver Kenelm Lee Guinness founded 'KLG Sparking plugs' in 1912 after experimentations led him to develop a more reliable spark plug. He found that by compressing 'Mica' around the centre electrode of a spark plug that a more consistent performance was achieved. His sparking plugs also proved most suitable for aircraft engines and KLG was a main supplier to the War Department during the Great War. In 1919 he sold world distribution rights for his brand to S.Smith & Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd and in 1927 that company bought him out entirely.
