A glow discharge tube comprising a gas-sealed envelope, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The gas-sealed envelope defining an interior with an interior surface defining a first interior portion with a first interior surface and a second interior portion with a second interior surface. The first electrode being located within the first interior portion, and the second electrode being located within and in contact with the second interior portion.

Glow discharge tube with a set of electrodes within a gas-sealed envelope

A spark plug electrode gap setting pliers is provided. The pliers include a first jaw portion coupled to a first shim and a second jaw portion coupled to a second shim. Upon actuation of the pliers, the first and second jaw portions close in parallel to bend respective electrode supports of a pair of electrodes or to bend the pair of electrodes to provide a parallel gap between the pair of electrodes.

Spark plug electrode gap setting tool

A method of producing an electrode support for a spark plug is provided. The method includes providing the electrode support. The method includes brazing a chip to the electrode support.

Method of producing an electrode support using brazing

A method of producing an electrode support for a spark plug is provided. The method includes attaching a chip to the electrode support. The chip includes a section of sacrificial material located between two sections of electrode material. The method includes substantially removing the section of sacrificial material from the chip to create a spark gap between the two sections of electrode material.
