- Electroplating became an art, and telegraphy sprang into active being on both sides of the Atlantic. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- The positive metal electrode gradually dissolves and replaces the metal lost from the solution by deposit and electroplating can continue as long as any positive electrode remains. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- While the art of electroplating would naturally suggest itself as the means of making such a mold, an apparently insurmountable obstacle appeared on the very threshold. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- It could not be used for electroplating or deposition, nor could it charge storage batteries, all of which are easily within the ability of the direct current. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
