[Received 18 June, 1942.—Read 18 June, 1942.] 1. Introduction. The ever-increasing application of electrodeposition for wear resistance and salvaging of worn of over-machined parts has made it imperative to study current distribution on anodes and cathodes, especially the latter, and the effects of various devices adopted in order to obtain local control of thickness of deposit. The devices are mostly "tricks of the trade", instinctively adopted or taught by experience in electrodeposition, such as special arrangements of electrodes in relation to one another, inter- posing insulating shields to reduce current densities in certain areas, or conducting shields or "thieves", etc., but considerable disagreement exists about the effectiveness of the various arrangements. The disagree- ment is no doubt partly due to different solutions and electrodes employed which produce varying polarisation effects, but the mathematical analysis of the "primary distribution ", i.e. on the original electrodes which are to be plated, even without considering polarisation, is of great value in clarifying the issues.
