Individual shops will, in many in-stances, have to supply their own compressed purchasing a compressor, a summation of allwork requiring such service should be made to insurethe selection of a machine of the correct most economical method of driving the compres-sor is by an individual motor, thus eliminating allline shaft losses when the machine is idle. TIME DIAL A convenient method of denoting the time at whichwork should be removed from the plating tank is. Fig. 75.—Time Dial(Crown Rheostat & Supply Co.) Plating Anodes 121 furnished through the use of a time dial, such as isshown in Fig. 75. A thumbpiece connects throughthe glass with the hands, allowing the latter to beset to indicate the hour and minute. If possible, atime dial should be placed above or on each activetank. PLATING ANODES There are several shapes and kinds of platinganodes on the market. Many of these are especiallydesigned for certain classes of work. For this reasona brief discussion of the more important types isnecessary. FLAT ANODE The flat anode was for many years the standardtype used for all classes of work. While still popu-lar, other shapes can now be adapted to greater ad-vantage in many instances. For nickel plating castanodes may be employed. A good point featured byseveral manufacturers is
