Abstract
An automatic electroplating machine has a plurality of plating barrels supported by cantilever arms on an elevator-conveyor for intermittent movement along a continuous, generally horizontal path to and through a plurality of work stations. Groups of barrels are lowered into and lifted out of a series of treating tanks located at work stations and along a rectilinear portion of the conveyor path. When the barrels are in lowered positions pinions on some of the barrels are engaged with reciprocally movable rack assemblies which oscillate the barrels in unison about horizontal axes and within the associated treating tanks.
