This two part mold is used to cast the lead antomony anode. After casting, the anode is machined; then a machined copper plug is screwed to the top for the alligator clip contact area. The machined anode is located precisely in the center of the liner to give an even amount of chrome on all sides. The diameter of the anode is .750 when chrome plating a liner with a 1.127 ID. This large size anode places the anode close to the cathode (the liner) which makes the plate very straight.
