Book Overview

""Contribution Towards A History Of Electro-Metallurgy: Establishing The Origin Of The Art"" is a book written by Henry Dircks in 1863. It is a historical account of the development of electro-metallurgy, which is the process of using electricity to deposit metal coatings onto surfaces. The book traces the origins of this art form back to the ancient Egyptians, who used electroplating to decorate their jewelry. Dircks explores the various techniques and processes used in electro-metallurgy, including electroplating, electrotyping, and electroforming. He also discusses the important contributions made by scientists and inventors such as Michael Faraday and Alexander Parkes. The book provides a detailed history of the evolution of electro-metallurgy, from its early beginnings to the modern techniques used in industry today. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and technology, as well as for those involved in the field of metallurgy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
