Albert Champion was a French bike racer who started making porcelain{a type of ceramic} spark plugs in 1905. He came to the US and changed the company to AC for legal reasons . His spark plugs were in the Spirit of St. Louis . All was well until he died in 1927 after being punched by his wifes lover. He's gone but his spark remains. This is one shot out of the camera. Two wires were run from a car charger, one was attached and the other touched to the plug while the shutter was open.
Doyle Hardware Building is a historic factory building located at 330 Main St in Utica in Oneida County, New York. It was built in three sections between 1881 and 1901. The entire four story complex is approximately 100 feet by 260 feet with 82,000 square feet of space. It was a work of Utica architect Frederick H. Gouge.
Built originally as a clothing factory, in 1934 it became a factory for manufacture of spark plugs, and in 1947 became home to Utica Distributing Company, later Doyle Hardware.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
Redevelopment
City officials and local business saw the building as important to the revitalization of the surrounding historic neighborhood, which includes Union Station, also on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
The building was purchased in 2007 by a developer who planned to convert the building into a restaurant, commercial office space and loft apartments. A restaurant and bar opened in 2010 but closed in 2012 with no other development of the building occurring.[4] The building went into foreclosure and the developer declared bankruptcy on Jan 31, 2013.[5] The building was listed for sale in 2015.

An old pair of spark plugs, from a set of four, these were taken from my old retro car a few years ago during a sevice, not before time as can be viewed from the image, rusty, crusty and definitely needing replacement.
The car is a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 LS hatch back my daily driver, it's a 1996 model, and considering the age it's not too bad a drive really for a 26 year old motor.
These spark plugs are a Japanese brand NGK, they have 2 electrodes compared to the ordinary one electrode type.
Improving the electrical spark too the engine cylinders is a benefit to efficiently, starting and power!
Therefore improving pollution a fraction, so helping the environment.
I bought this car 10 years ago for £500 and it's still worth the same, now though every MOT is steadily getting more expensive with welding work being needed .... so it's probably getting nearer to the scrap yard as time passes by.
But I do like driving older cars, and would certainly miss the old girl when the scrapyard reclaims her for making new bean cans!
😂
These spark plugs are very thin, with the smaller diameter thread .... Total height of complete spark plug is 3 inches.
My image that can be seen is only half of the total plug height 1.5 inches from electrode to base of plug, so with negative space it's around 2.5 inches, so therefore well within the required measurement parameters of max 3x3 inches.

This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Silhouette.
My submission this week has a little spark to it. This is an actual spark plug sparking.
HMM.
When I first saw this I thought it was for a tattooist but it's for an automotive repair place. I thought it quite a nice piece of wall art.

The Harbor Beach Lighthouse is a "sparkplug lighthouse" located at the end of the north breakwall entrance to the harbor of refuge on Lake Huron. The breakwall and light were created by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to protect the harbor of Harbor Beach, Michigan, which at the time was the largest man-made freshwater harbor in the world.
The City of Harbor Beach is now the owner of the Harbor Beach Lighthouse. Ceremonies to transfer ownership of the historic structure took place in Traverse City on June 16, 2010. A local ceremony took place July 31, 2010.
The Harbor Beach Lighthouse Preservation Society (HBLPS) was formed in 1984 and restoration is ongoing. The lighthouse has been waterproofed, ventilated, and its floors, interior walls, and windows restored to original appearance.
Inspired by the gallery, my transportation image for Macro Mondays features an Iridium motorbike spark plug, with added sparkler effect for drama.
The visible part of the spark plug measures around 1" in length.

Duxbury Pier lighthouse also called Duxbury Light (nicknamed the "Bug Light") is a lighthouse located in Plymouth Harbor, Massachusetts. Duxbury Pier Light was built in 1871 on the north side of the main channel in Plymouth Harbor to mark the dangerous shoal off Saquish Head. The unusual coffeepot-shaped lighthouse is locally known as "Bug Light" or simply "The Bug." It was the first so-called sparkplug lighthouse in the United States. Application was made to list the lighthouse on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
Bug Light survived the Hurricane of 1944 when 30-foot (9.1 m) waves battered the isolated station. Heavy seas on the east side destroyed the fog bell mechanism, the lightkeepers’ boat, and its outhouse. In 1983 Duxbury Pier Light was slated by the Coast Guard to be replaced by a fiberglass tower much like the one that had replaced Boston Harbor's old Deer Island Lighthouse. The Coast Guard had estimated that a renovation of the current structure would have cost $250,000. A group of concerned local residents formed Project Bug Light. A five-year lease was granted to the preservation committee. The Coast Guard sandblasted and painted the structure and did some repair work in 1983; the work was completed in 1985. The Coast Guard spent $100,000 to refurbish the lower half of the lighthouse. Project Bug Light raised $20,000 from local businesses, as well as sales of T-shirts and bumper stickers, a fashion show, baseball games, and raffling a painting. They used this money to restore the upper parts and the interior, including the rebuilding of the roof and the catwalk. At the same time solar power replaced the older battery system. The fog signal was also converted to solar power. In the late 1980s, vandals broke into the lantern room, leaving it susceptible to leaks. The weather deteriorated the wood interior so much that all the wood had to be removed, leaving bare iron walls. After a few years Project Bug Light virtually dissolved as an organization, and the five-year lease expired. In 1993, the Coast Guard again talked of replacing the lighthouse with a fiberglass pole, or at least removing the lantern room. This time, Dr. Don Muirhead of Duxbury, an avid sailor, spearheaded a new preservation effort. The Coast Guard again refurbished the lighthouse in 1996. The volunteers of Project Bug Light continue to do maintenance at the light and have raised more than $80,000 toward the continued preservation of "The Bug." To quote volunteer Edwin Heap, "It's an ugly old historical thing, but we're glad it's been saved."

This week's Macro Mondays effort on the theme of Plugs and Jacks. Have tried to think outside the box on this one, but it does fit the brief of 'an attached cable for electricity or data transport' as spark plugs are connected to ht leads to deliver electricity to the combustion chamber of an engine. Anyhoo, HMM y'all!

The Robbins Reef Light Station is a sparkplug lighthouse located off Constable Hook in Bayonne, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, along the west side of Main Channel, Upper New York Bay. The tower and integral keepers quarters were built in 1883. It replaced an octagonal granite tower built in 1839. The U.S. Coast Guard owned and operated the light station until the 2000s.
The light is located on a small ridge of sand named Robyn's Rift by the Dutch settlers of the area. The reef is now called Robbins Reef. It is situated near the entrance to the Kill van Kull, a strait connecting New York Bay to Newark Bay. The channel is one of the most heavily used in the Port of New York and New Jersey, accessing Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal.
The name derives from the New Netherland era of the 17th century. In Dutch rob or robyn means seal, groups of which would sometimes lie on the reef at low tide. The structure is also called Kate's Light for Kate Walker who "manned" the station alone after the death of her husband Captain John Walker in 1886, until 1919. She rowed her children to school in Bayonne. Herman Westgate was the last keeper of the lighthouse before it was finally automated. In 2009 Robbins Reef was put up for sale under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. In 2011, the Noble Maritime Collection, a maritime museum on Staten Island, was granted stewardship of the light station by the U.S. General Services Administration. The octagonal structure near Robbins Reef Lighthouse is not the base of the original 1839 tower but rather a sewer outfall that was constructed around 1915 (Wikipedia.)

Today's bonus OARCB (old ass rivet counter boomer), mundane wedgie, an old retread, from stick season of 1983, SR #151, the Sparkplug, at mp 152 (Science Hill) on March 13, 1983. I really, really loved the 6 B36-7's (and the 22 B30-7a's), they reminded me of FM's. The 3819 is celebrating its second birthday, built in March 1981. The while flag means nothing here but its probably worked the Louisville line at some recent point.
Another shot of Comet Neowise over the town of Lubec, Maine, last night. Check out my previous post for one taken during twilight.
The comet is naked eye visible, although it’s a lot easier to see when it’s completely dark out and away from light pollution. As with any night sky subject, the camera captures much more detail than the naked eye can see.
