Looking for book on the Hull Cell and booklet on electroplating history  

++

I am looking for a book and a booklet. I would appreciate any information that anyone has about either or both of these publications.

The book is called "The Hull Cell." I think it was written by a woman. It had a lot of tips and instructions for using the Hull Cell. It even had a Hull Cell ruler bound into the spine of the book on a piece of ribbon!

The second is a booklet published by a vendor. I don't remember the vendor, but the booklet was a very nice presentation about the history of the beginnings of electroplating. It has a glossy white cover and is called "From Faraday to Frog Legs." There are short paragraphs on Volta, Ampere, Sir Humphrey Davies and Michael Faraday. The booklet is illustrated with really cute line drawings. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Maryland Sanakee. Here I know I have the spelling wrong. She worked for McGean Rohco and did a series of articles on the Hull Cell. I think they were carried in Metal Finishing or that other publication. She has retired from McGean (Which may have since merged into someting else).

"The Hull Cell" must have been a very popular title. There is a book of this title by Walter Nohse, published by Robert Draper of Teddington UK in 1966. I cannot vouch for the cover, as I haven't seen one with a fly cover intact. It was translated from the orginal text (presumably German)by staff of "Electroplating and Metal Finishing"
