Electroplating Plant. the battery is connected to a rod running across the trough.To the positive plate are suspended the anodes, a, a, a, ofgold, silver or copper, or any other metal that it is desiredto obtain a deposit from. The plates of the battery, or thenegative elements, are attached to the other rod across thetrough, and to this rod the articles that are to be plated aresuspended, as shown at by b, b.

He prepareshis silver solution as given under the head of Silver-plating (page 53), and treats the goods as spoken of underGeneral Rules for Electroplating (page 125).

The wire may be run from the battery to any de-sired distance. The connec
