Excerpt from Modern Electro Plating: The Principles Involved in Depositing Gold, Silver, Nickel, Copper, Brass and Other Metals, by Means of Batteries or Dynamos; The Preparation and Management of Plating Baths, Chemicals Used, Etc
This little work has been prepared chiefly to help out of his difficulties the plater in country towns who has purchased a small outfit and begun operations without previous training in a plating establishment where modern methods have been employed with a due regard for speed and economy in turning out the work. Hence it has been thought best to confine our remarks chiefly to the principles involved in the work, and to tell in a common sense way, how the work is done; what forces are employed; how they are handled, and how the various formulae may be made and varied to suit the conditions of the work or to overcome the difficulties that may arise in continuous working of solutions.
It has seemed better to do this than to give a large number of formulae which, although they may be perfectly adapted to a special purpose, contain in themselves no real information, but have to be taken blindly, like a physician's prescription for a fever.
