The practical electroplater A comprehensive treatise on electroplating, with notes on ancient and modern gilding, and formulas for new solutions . Henry Elkington found that alkaline solutions couldbe substituted for acid solutions, which were then in could be done by using compounds of cyanogen anddouble salts, which are not decomposed by electro-positivemetals. Jacobi says that these compounds were not unknownto chemists, but it was never imagined that they could beutilized in the manner which Mr. Elkington discovered. The author, who has been working steadily in thistrade for more than twenty years, recollects an old man,a jeweler in his native place, who was well acquainted witha method of gilding by a very practical chemical may be remarked that many believe the galvanizingprocess has been discovered within the past few old jeweler used to gild by means of prussiate ofpotassium, to which he added, in order to produce therequired electricity, small pieces of zinc. Both these ma-terials were placed in the same bath. This primitivemethod was known about seventy years ago ELECTROPLATING jYNAMO-ELECTRIC machines intended forelectro deposition differ from all dynamos built for the transmissionof power or electric lighting seldom de-velop less than no volts of electromotive force, thosewound for electroplating seldom give more than is because the electroplating baths are regulatedby the quantity of current. It was formerly believed thatthe intensity regulated the rate of deposition, but thisis erroneous, as the baths have very little practicing electroplating have a tendency tocling to the notions of the nature of electricity formerlyheld. The practicability of using simpler and more correctterms and methods in dealing with the output of dynamoshas, however, been shown. Thus intensity undoubtedlymeant the electromotive force. To express the unit ofelectromotive force the term volt
