Discussion on "Modern electro-deposition of metals" at the Birmingham Section of the Institution

MR. H. C. ARMITAGE (Member of Council): This deposition of metals has, I think, a wonderful future. At the present time everybody engaged in production, whether of lamps or wings for motor cars or anything else, is seeking methods of rust prevention. Mr. Coles´ remarks have been quite a revelation in letting us know what wonderful strides have been made; in fact I have been told many times during the last few months that a lot of the things which Mr. Cowper-Coles has dealt with were yet impractical. Is it to be understood that the zinc depositing process is similar to the sherardising process ? Before proceeding further, would you distinguish for us between the electrolytic and sherardising process?
