HISTORY of
A.L. Doering Spark Plug Corporation
By Robert S. Mihailin
During the early 1900's gasoline powered engines really came of age. There were, however, oil seepage problems that were inherent to the design. Oil would seep past the pistons into the firing chamber resulting in rough running, hard starting, and loss of power.
Mr. Doering, a farmer in Staten Island, New York, found that his tractor always seemed to have problems with misfiring cylinders or cylinders not firing at all as the day wore on. In speaking to his acquaintances, Mr. Doering found that this problem was widespread and not just limited to his own tractor. Each day he would re-tune the engine so it would start the next day. The problem was becoming very time consuming and costly as he constantly had to replace spark plugs.
In experimenting with his own tractor, Mr. Doering found that if he disconnected the spark plug wires and held them very close to the plug, the spark would bridge the gap resulting in more power to the engine. Seeing the results of this, Mr. Doering would run his tractor with the spark to the engine. As the engine would warm up, he would then connect the wire firmly to the plug. Through his new system he found that his engine would run better for much longer periods and the plugs would not foul as often.
Mr. Doering tried his experiment on various engines with the same results. At about this time an investor named Mr. L. Anderson heard about Mr. Doering's invention and promptly formed a partnership with him. In 1914 the A.L. Doering Spark Plug Company was formed. Mr. Anderson's role in the company as mechanical engineer resulted in obtaining a U.S. Patent for the series gap spark intensifying plug. Many other patents followed.
As second owners of the company Mr. Ken Heim and his father in law Mr. Rimmler went into a partnership with Puerto Rico investor Mr. G. Velazquez. Funding from Mr. Velazquez enabled the company to completely automate production and assembly of the spark plugs greatly increasing manufacturing capacity. By March of 1980 all business obligations to Mr. Velazquez had been satisfied.
Robert Mihailin purchased the company in June of 1980. At this time the company moved from Bayside Queens to its present location in Lindenhurst, NY. Outgrowing its facility in 1989 the company again moved to larger quarters in Farmingdale NY. At this point Mr. Mihailin needed to expand production and contacted former partner Mr. Velazquez in Puerto Rico who had vast experience in increasing capacity. Additionally Mr. Velazquez helped in negotiations in opening up South America and Mexico as valuable new markets for ALDOR Spark Plugs.
This year A.L. Doering is proud to introduce its new line the ALDOR "C" Series plugs which are designed with higher performance engines, in mind, producing a colder, brighter and sharper spark to outperform standard plugs. these High quality, pre-gaped plugs with the patented "brain" and a lower insulating heat ranger will enhance the plugs performance at all engine speeds and at any fuel octane level. These new Aldor SMART PLUGS are available now and later this year we will be in the TRIAD system throughout United States and Puerto Rico.
ALDOR's thermo reactor head produces an Ultra Thrust Ignition that provides *faster starting, *newfound power, *increased fuel economy while at the same time *reducing emissions. Our plugs are fully automatic and adjust to spark demand while each cylinder is firing. The voltage increase to the spark plugs tip is varable from 3% to a maximum of 40% as necessary, thus the name "SMART PLUG" . The smart gap burns off excess carbon deposits that may form at the tip of the plug resulting in smoother operation. ALDOR spark plugs outperform all standard or original equipment spark plugs at a competitive price.

Today's Featured Article - George's Fordson Major - by Anthony West (UK). This is a bit of a technical info to add on to the article about George's Major in the "A Towny Goes Plowing" article.

There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that the major was produced late 19 ... [Read Article]
