A little article about the birth of 2 famous spark plug brands.

Something I wasn't aware of, but some you may have been.

Albert Champion, much like Ransom E. Olds & Ole Evinrude, had more than one well known brand name established under them.

What an odd way to die for someone who made such a significant impact to the advancement of technology. Sad.

And yes, I was aware of this story only because one of our older techs at the dealership where I worked loves history lessons on all things mechanical.
