A conductor is initially moved through a cleaning bath containing an electrically conductive liquid and a current is passed between the conductor and an electrode, e.g. anode, immersed in the electrically conductive liquid to electrolytically clean the conductor. The conductor is then optionally passed through a water-cleaning bath and, thereafter, is fed to a wire drawing bench to reduce the cross- sectional dimensions of the conductor. Prior to electrolytic cleaning, the conductor may be softened by passage through a current via a terminal. The conductor may be copper or aluminium (alloy) or iron, or metal-plated wire.
