A Review by Ted Mooney: Cover and table of contents photo is from the 184-page 2nd edition, 1979. A great reference on everything you'd want to know about chrome plated plastics, including such subjects as design of the plastic parts (wall thicknesses, ribs, bosses, draft angles), common substrates and their properties, mold design, design of the plating racks, extensive information about design for selective plating, when to include copper plating in the cycle and when to avoid it, test procedures, and over 100 references. The 152-page 4th edition, 1994, adds a chapter on automated plating machines not present in the 2nd edition.
