"Electro-plating" is a 1905 handbook by Australian writer Paul N. Hasluck on electro-plating with various metals and alloys, including gold, nickel, copper, and more. Written in simple, clear language and full of helpful diagrams, this volume is highly recommended for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Contents include: "Tanks, Vats ad Apparatus", "Batteries, Dynamos, and Electrical Accessories", "Appliances for Preparing and Finishing", "Silver-plating", "Copper-plating", "Gold-plating", "Nickel-plating and Cycle-plating", "Finishing Electro-plated Goods", "Electro-plating with Various Metals and Alloys", etc. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian writer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many works on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: "Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning" (1881), "The Watch-Jobber's Handy Book" (1887), and "Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them" (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
