in the end portion of the holder 32.
The prod 1 has a hollow shank or skirt 36 the open end of which is fitted firmly in a suitable hole or opening provided in the disc 35 so that an end of the conductor 8 extends into the shank or skirt 36 and also into the prod part I which has a small recess in which the end of the conductor 8 fits with a tight fit or may be otherwise fixed, as desired. v
Spacedly within the end portion of the holder 32 from the disc 35 is press fitted or otherwise attached a fiat piece 31, also of insulating material, of polygonal form so as to have corner} portions 38 (see Fig. 6) which engage the wall "faulty spark plug. If the circuit is in proper conof the holder 32, and has cut-out portions to provide holes 39, through one of which passes or extends the conductor 8. This piece 31. is for gathering and holding the extra length portion of the conductor 8 in the space between this piece 31 and the disc 35 to prevent such conductor from contacting with any of the parts of the means in the holder 32, such as from contacting the spark gap means 9 or some other conducting part, such as the conductor 23, or the like.
At and in the other end portion of the holder 32 is force fitted or otherwise attached a disc 42, also of insulating material, the peripheral edge of which fits closely in the end portion of the p In the disc 42 are provided suitable holes or openings in which fit suitable eye means holder 32.
or grommets 43 and 44 for the passage therethrough of the conductors 24 and I5, respectively, and the openings in these eye means or grommets are such as to closely fit with the conductors 24 and i to seal them so as to prevent entry of moisture, dust or the like, within the holder 32. These parts 43 and 44 also are preferably of insulating material.
Within the holder 32 is suitably supported a supporting piece or strip 40, also of insulating material, and on this strip 48 are suitably supported or carried various parts of the device, such as the lamp 21, the condensers 22 and 13, the resistance l9, and the common contact member or means II, and suitable holes or apertures 4|, i 45 and 46 are provided for the passage or extenj sion therethrough of the conductors 30,12 and 2|, and I4, respectively. See Figs. 4 and 5. At the upper end of the strip 43, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the spark gap means 9 is suitably carried or supported, as desired.
In the wall of the holder 32 is provided a window for viewing the lamp 21, this window com prising an opening or hole 41 (see Fig. 3) and over this opening is placed a transparent sheet 5| which may be of thin material,-such as of any suitable material or mica, synthetic material, or the like. This sheet 5| is wrapped about the holder 32, as shown, and is suitably sealed to the holder 32 along the border portions of the sheet I or wrapper 5|, as indicated at 52 and 53 in Fig. 2.
Hence, the wrapper 5| is sealed to the holder 32 v to prevent entry of humidity, dust, or the like, as by way of the window 41. Since the wrapper 3 5| is of transparent material, that portion, as 54, f of the wrapper 5| will permit transmission of 1 light rays from the lamp 1 tester.

Thence, the prod 1 1 is contacted with the terminal the Edis tributor 3 operates an through the device. The impulse is by way or the spark gap 8 and the condenser 13 as well as to the resistor 19, and to ground Hi. It does not flow to or through the condenser 22, nor through the light 21, nor across the gap of the spark plug 5, because the potential is not sufiicient to break down the spark plug gap, the energy having been absorbed through the path of the condenser l3 and the resistance l9, which are in parallel. 0n the other hand, if there be a leakage in the spark plug, as'represented by, a resistance 55 (see Fig. 1), the potential across the spark plug terminals is sufficient to permit current to fiow through the lamp 21 and cause it to glow, thus indicating a dition the lamp 21 does not glow.
By way of example, for a successful operation of the device, the condensers l3 and 22 will have resistance l9 will be 5.6 megohms. -measure leakage up to 22 megohms.
