Mr. Furlong has acquired much renown inelectrotyping circles, his name being associated withseveral notable inventions and improvements in this the foregoing the reader will be able to gauge thevalue of the article here printed. As applied to plate printing electrotyping consists inthe molding or reproducing of printing surfaces by meansof a plastic material, and the deposition of a copper shellthereon, by separating the metal from the solution anddepositing the same in solid form by means of a galvanicor electric current. The shell which results is removed. ELECTROTYPING. 195 from the mold and backed with a suitable metal, afterwhich it is finished, ready for the printer. Much as the world is indebted to European scientistsfor many of the earlier discoveries in this process the credit
