Abstract

THE TIN PLATING industry began in Wales several hundred years ago. Early processes were largely manual, without automatic devices. American ingenuity progressed the art to the modern control giant—the electrolytic tinning line. The modern line has evolved from a pilot line which originally was installed and tested in 1936–1937. The program of automatic electrolytic tinning also was looked upon by our federal government as a good “tin saver.” As much as a pound or more of tin could be saved for every 40,000 square inches of tin plate produced.
