Apparatus for automatically feeding the silver wire into the solution

Abstract

An apparatus and method for positioning each of the many silver electrodes in the tank of solution such that arcing does not occur. This consists of a light or electromagnetic detector held in the tank of solution so as to be close to the point where the silver electrode comes in contact with the solution. When the silver electrode comes out of the solution such that an electrical arc occurs the detector observes this and sends a signal to the motor control. This signal is in turn sent to the gear head electric motor causing it to turn. This turning action causes the two pressure rollers to turn and move the silver wire, which is held between the rollers, down into the solution until the arcing stops.
