to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed
fuel/air mixture therein by means of an electric spark, while containing combustion
pressure within the engine. A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electrically
isolated from a central electrode by a porcelain insulator.
