Abstract
Apparatus for selective electroplating of discreet areas of strips intermittently advanced through said apparatus. A particularly important aspect of the apparatus is the means whereby the strip is advanced intermittently but is, at all times, held under tension by a dual-clutch arrangement comprising two indexing wheels, a drag clutch positioned to control tension on a first wheel at one side of the electroplating bath, and another indexing wheel intermittently operated to advance the strip on intermittent engagement by controlled by a second clutch mechanism.
