VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring bold text that reads "WORLD'S AIR SPEED RECORD ON K·L·G". Below this headline, additional text explains that the igniter plugs and thermo couples fitted in the Rolls-Royce 'Derwent' units of the record-breaking Gloster 'Meteor' Aircraft were supplied by K. L. G. The bottom section of the ad states "MAKERS OF THE BEST PLUG IN THE WORLD FOR YOUR CAR", indicating that K. L. G. , which stands for Kenelm Lee Guinness, was known for manufacturing high-quality spark plugs not only for aviation but also for automobiles. The company's full name, "K. L. G. SPARKING PLUGS LIMITED, " along with its address at Putney Vale, London S. W. 15 is provided at the bottom left corner, and there's a logo or emblem on the bottom right corner labeled "SMITHS". This advertisement likely dates back to the mid-20th century when setting airspeed records was a prestigious achievement and advancements in aviation technology were often highlighted in marketing materials.
