TLDR
In this paper, a CYCLDRICAL OBJECT is used to serve as a cathode in the plating process and is positioned adjacent to an ANODE IMMERSED in the bath.
Abstract
IN ELECTROPLATING A CYLINDRICAL OBJECT WHICH SERVES AS CATHODE IN THE PLATING PROCESS AND IS POSITIONED ADJACENT TO AN ANODE IMMERSED IN THE PLATING BATH, THE OBJECT IS MOUNTED IN SUCH MANNER THAT IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY SUBMERSED AND THE BATH IS AGITATED WITH SUFICIENT FORCE THAT THE EXPOSED SURFACE OF THE OBJECT IS MAINTAINED COMPLETELY AWASH WITH THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION. DEFECTS IN THE PLATING RESULTING FROM OCCLUSION OF AIR BUBBLES OR SOLID PARTICLES ARE THEREBY MINIMIZED AND A HIGH PLATING RATE IS ATTAINED.
