These are scanned from a reprint of a 1922 Montgomery Wards catalog. I have already posted them on a Facebook Model T group and everyone seemed to like them. I wish my scanner was large enough to take in the whole page.
"The Spark Plug" (a.k.a. Narrows Light) - captured from South Lubec Road, on the U.S. side of the Lubec Narrows, Johnson Bay, Lubec, Maine
Captured through the trees along the edge of South Lubec Road and Johnson Bay a half mile north of Woodward Point with the southern-most of the two Duck Islands to the left of the "Sparkplug", and Campobello Island in the distance.
Pictures of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse from on board the Jewel of the Seas on Disembarkation Day - September 28th, 2023 as we returned from our fantastic voyage. The Robbins Reef Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1883 (replacing a light that was built in 1839). It is very close to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas for a grand 14 day cruise to Greenland (September 14th through 28th, 2023). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with an actual stop in Manhattan (a delay leaving NYC caused by Hurricane Lee); Nuuk, Qaqortoq & Nanortalik in Greenland; St.John's, Newfoundland before heading back to New York City. It was a grand adventure.
Tarrytown Light, also known as Kingsland Point Light and Sleepy Hollow Light, is a sparkplug lighthouse on the east side of the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States. It a conical steel structure erected in the 1880s. In 1979 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

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
more mechanicery!
car servicing time...!
Spark plugs and cleaned the air filter today... oil and filter tomorrow :)
also got an insane box of all sorts of bits from my Uncle for Project Nerd!
Note the diagonal tubes bolted across the top of the engine, and additional framing bolted above. No butterfly chokes on the air intakes - the throttles are sliding plates in the brown and brass colored rectangular housing at the bottom of the intakes. At one end of the slide's travel there is a hole just as big as the intake - more efficient than a butterfly valve, no blockage at all. At the other end is a little slot just big enough to let the engine idle. The throttle pedal slides the two slides back and forth and 12 intakes get the same aperture for fuel and air mix. Extra points if you can find the crossbar that links the two banks of slides...

"The Spark Plug" (a.k.a. Narrows Light)
South Lubec Road, The Lubec Narrows, the Bay of Fundy, Lubec, Maine
Captured after slogging through the mud at low tide to get just that little bit closer to the light at the center of the Narrows.
I wore Crocs to walk through the mud and slime, but didn't figure on the suction power of the muck that pulled my Crocs right off my feet and forced me to take them off and go barefoot, while using my tripod legs to keep me from falling face-first into the muck camera and all.
All in all quite an adventure, to get just a wee bit less haze between me and the light.
The following images are 3 different crops from a 14 shot composite image captured about ¼ mile out into the muck, and about ¾ mile from the lighthouse.
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 government appropriated $21,000 in 1881 to construct the Kingsland Point Lighthouse. The site, however, was not on Kingsland Point, but rather on a much cheaper parcel of land in the river itself, ¼ mile off the point. The sparkplug tower was produced by G.W. & F. Smith Iron of Boston, Massachusetts, and was known as the Kingsland Point Lighthouse and the Tarrytown Lighthouse.
Captain Joseph Ackerman lit the light for the first time on October 1, 1883, a ceremony he would repeat many times during his twenty-one years of service at the rock-rimmed cast-iron tower. The 54-foot-tall conical tower consists of five levels. The first level, having a diameter of eighteen feet, served as a combination kitchen/dining room/living room. Bedrooms were located on the next two levels. The fourth level was split into two rooms, a bedroom and a small storeroom. The fifth level stored fog bell equipment, and the lantern room topped it all off.
The only Caisson style lighthouse on the Hudson River, the Tarrytown Lighthouse housed a fourth-order Fresnel lens, which originally exhibited a fixed white light characteristic from a 56-foot focal plane. The characteristic was switched to fixed-red in 1894 and then in 1902, it was changed to flashing red.

Pictures of the West Bank Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The West Bank Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1901 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It serves as the front range light with the Staten Island Lighthouse serving as the rear range. This guided ships into the Ambrose Channel. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
At Swetsville zoo - rib bones of a dinosaur - 😋 - did see 👀 some car part plus sparkplugs are use for teeth.
Beautiful Surprise Lake in a beautiful Cascade Alpine setting surrounded by Sparkplug, Surprise, and Thunder Mountains.
I finally got the tattoo I've been wanting for a longgg time, and that is my scooter! I wanted to make it symmetrical, so I added a Lambretta on the other side, with a spark plug in the middle and a target in the background.
The tattoo is on the inside of my left forearm. Done by Adam Potts @ Acme Ink.

John's mk2 Jetta project car that started out being used as a dumpster behind a building before he got his hands on it. He swapped the interior, fixed the body himself, had a hand from a friend re-spraying it, then installed a handful of awesome parts and is now in the midst of an ABA swap with a Neuspeed supercharger (which he's hoping to finish by H2oi).
This was just after I started cleaning up from shooting here, I grabbed my (awesome) little x100s and snapped a natural light shot with everything out.
This was my 2nd bike, here seen in our garden in a drizzling rain.
You could just do anything with it, even if you threw it from left to right and back, it never gave you a false move in return.
It always had your back, and never complained.
That's why driving schools used them so much in those times, the CB-450 (and the CB-1).
Because I also drove it during the wintertimes, I had this BMW bikini top-half installed, that was (just a bit) nicer when you had to drive 100kms a day on the highway.
I remember the dark ice on the road, and the snow.
The damp freezing mornings, that made it impossible to keep your visor down, because you could swipe the outside with your glove, but not the inside.
And your hands and knees froze off just the same, but hey, who's complaining, you had your freedom, no traffic jams for you!
(By the way, a leather bikesuit isn't warm in the winter, nor is it cool in the summer, it's just a good way to protect yourselve)
If you have rubbed the skin off of your leg in an accident because you wore bermuda shorts, and also broke that leg, there's only one way to help you.
Drilling an exoskeleton into the broken bones of your leg, because since your skin is gone and you have raw flesh there, it's not possible to put your leg in a plaster cast.
The best to protect yourself by far, is (expensive) kangaroo leather.
But what an easy going bike it was, the only maintenance I ever gave it, were two sparkplugs, a chain and sprockets and some new oil and tires now and then . .
The 'slim style' Li series three was the start of a long production run and almost all future large frame models were an evolution of the Li series 3. The Li 3, was a great sixties design, and a lot of the advertising for the scooter used sixties model and icon Jane Mansfield, either sitting or standing on the Li. The body and panel work itself was all new in design, slimmer and sleeker, than the series two it replaced. New headlight, horn cast, slimmer leg shields, panels, rear running boards all helped make the 'slim style' look, well slimmer! Twin single saddle seats were fitted as standard on these machines, although the single dual seat was available as an option should you wish. The new Series three models gained rear frame badges in holders rather then the earlier models fake grilles. These badges wore the model, either Li125 or Li150.
Under the panels technical details mostly stayed the same, although a number of minor changes were made cosmetically. A new carburettor, SH18, featured the float chamber built in under neath the carb instead of the earlier MA/MB side float chamber items. This carburettor gave not only increased miles per gallon, but also helped to increase the overall speed of the new Li. The bulbous kick start stop bulge was dropped from the S1/2 in favour of a more streamlined chain casing. Due to the slimness of the body and floor boards, a kick start pedal with less of a kink out was utilised. Carburettor hose, although retaining the looks of the earlier models did now not need to be as long to bridge the gap between the air box elbow and carburettor. The air box was also given a slight overhaul, slimmer and with a redesigned metal neck and air filter cartridge retaining system.
A more boxy exhaust box, with seperate U bend up to the cylinder was fitted with replaced the box and seperate tail pipe & u bend on previous models. All UK models came with a battery which provided power for the parking lights, which was a legal requirement for UK vehicles at that time. The battery also provided power for the horn and stop light. All other markets received the same direct lighting system that was more common to the Lambretta.
The front suspension was still the same Innocenti design with trailing links sat on buffers, but slightly differing in shape, and thinner. Rear suspension again remained the same coil damper unit combined as on previous models although the was now half an inch shorter. Braking received slight cosmetic changes, and remained drum front and rear. The locking tab washer on the rear hub now sat in a recess in the hub itself, which also gained an extra hole taking the total up to three to allow easier fixing of the locking ring. The rear hub was tightened to its torque setting of 150lbs but the choice of three holes for the locating screw made for easier fixing at the factory torque setting.
With a production so long, in fact the longest of any model, many mid run production changes were made. Early Series 3 Li's used four pole stators which carried over from the second series, later models switched to the to six pole system which used more lighting coils to give better electrics. Gearbox ratios were changed on the 125 models to improve speed. With the changes of new and existing models that were made, so the Li models received them as well. In 1965 the chrome ring underneath the headset was deleted, the gap left by that being taken up by a deeper headset base casting.
In 1967 Innocenti produced a batch of Li 125 models that have now found themselves steeped in a bit of mystery. It is not known why approximatetly 1400 of these models were made, it can only be guessed that they were built in order to fulfil a specific order. On first appearences the Li S4 appears to be a "normal" Li, but on closer inspection the subtle changes can be seen. Gone were the bolt in fork buffers to be replaced by the push in type favoured on other machines at the time, side panels were the clip on type and not the normal handle type. The horn cast crest badge was replaced by an alloy silver coloured badge, with Innocenti wording on a centre blue back ground. Rear frame badge was changed from the Li 125 one as seen before, to the Lambretta Innocenti type as fitted on SX models. Underneath the side panels, the grey plastic tool boxes were fitted. Paint colour wise, it is thought the Li 4 was only ever offered in the pale blue (8070) colour.
As far as it is known, no advertising material was ever produced for this model, hence it is assumed they were built for a specific order. Frame numbers were even changed to read 125Li4.
All in all with its long production run, low costs, and evolution of parts used and fitted the Li series 3 was a commercial success for Innocenti. 143,091 150c models were made, and 146,734 125cc models left the Innocenti factory gates.
