Compare this with the Two-Bar Type, Fig. 78 (A. P. Munning & Co.) The characteristic disintegration of a flat anode isshown in Fig. 76 and shows amount to be consideredas waste. CORRUGATED ANODES Quite similar to the flat-plate anode is that pre-senting a corrugated surface. The advantage of this Plating Anodes 123 type is the large exposed surface in comparison tothe flat anode of equal width. This is a valuablefeature in nickel plating, for since this metal does. Fig. 77.—Corrugated Anode not readily dissolve, the large exposed area aids inmaintaining the metallic strength of the solutionwithout the addition of nickel salts. A corrugatedanode is shown in Fig. 77. ELLIPTIC ANODES Anodes whose cross sections are round or ellipticalin shape are finding favor in the plating room. Theelliptical anode is especially featured by the pro-ducers for its economy and perfect plating character-istics. When there is poor, or no agitation of theelectrolyte, it is noticed that the edge of a flat anodedisintegrates more quickly than the center portion, 124 The Modern Electroplater and that the effect on the cathode is noticeable. Thesection of the cathode nearest the edges of the anodereceives the heaviest deposit. The round or elliptic
