The gold film is only about the one-mil-
liontn of an inch in thickness, but it re-
produces perfectly the original record
made on the wax. Next, paratin is
smeare1 over the copper, and the tube is
plated with silver, which is deposited only
upon the gold, owing to the protection
given to the copper by the parafn. The
copper is then dissolved with hydrochloric
acid, which does not affect either silver or

only an absolutely faithful copy Of the

The gold will not tarnish, and the spoken

Heating process, copies in metal or wax
can be made from it at any time.
