Electroplating: A Treatise on the Electro-Deposition of Metals (Classic Reprint)

Such a man, to quote the late Prof. Wm. James, need have no anxiety about the upshot of his education. ... If he keep faithfully busy, ... he can with perfect certainty count on waking up some fine morning to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation. In its general plan the book is framed partly on the courses of lectures delivered to students in the technical classes of the University of Sheffield, and partly on the syllabus in electro-metallurgy of the City and Guilds of London I nstitute. On these lines the book would be inadequate unless some account of the elementary principles of electrical engineering were included, and an endeavour has been made to present in a concise manner an outline of the electrical principles involved, together with an explanation of the terms used in connection with them, so that the whole subject may be better understood. It is hoped, therefore, that such matter will assist students and workers in the art of plating, and help to render as easy as possible what appears from our experience to be a thorny part of the subject. The various formulae recommended for solutions and directions for carrying out processes of electro-deposition are in nearly all cases those which are in actual use in workshop practice and are not merely laboratory experiments. The scope of the work does not permit of a very full treatment of the science of electro-chemistry, and those who wish to go more deeply into this fascinating and rapidly developing branch of science are referred to larger works, such as Dr. A llrnand s Principles of Applied Electrochemistry. f Talks to Teachers on Psychology (L ongmans), p. 78. t London: Edward A rnold, 1912.
