Abstract
In a plating machine the circuit board workpieces are held in clamp assemblies which grip the leading edge of each board so that the lower edges of the boards can be plated as the clamps travel around the machine. These clamps are adjustably mounted on a chain, and can be quickly removed for varying the spacing between them. Each clamp is designed to be loaded by the machine operator in a one handed operation without any separate clamp opening motion by him.
