摘要

A high speed, high current density electrolytic apparatus for tinning wire provides a plurality of loops of wire simultaneously in opposite directions through the electrolyte. Alternate loops in a common plane are drawn in opposite directions to eliminate fluid drag problems. The wires pass through a tank having a bank of anodes and are guided by grooved rollers which separate the adjacent wires. Rotatable conductive drums on each side of the tank drive the wire in successive loops through the tank until a desired coating is obtained.
