Abstract
A flat plate bipolar electrolytic cell frame unit has a plurality of connectors removably attachable to the centerboard. Anode and cathode plate supports or ribs have outer plate supporting edges and are cooperable with the connectors, when the latter are secured to the centerboard, to enable adjustment of the ribs to preselected positions whereat their edges define preselected planes, such that when the anode and cathode plates are subsequently welded to said edges and assembled with the connectors to the centerboard, the anode and cathode plates of adjacent bipolar cell units are parallel and closely spaced by a predetermined distance. The connectors are removably secured to the centerboard and the ribs are welded at their adjusted positions to their respective connectors. Thereafter the welded together connectors and ribs are removed from the centerboard to enable unencumbered welding of the anode and cathode plates to said edges of the anode and cathode ribs respectively. The connectors, with the ribs welded thereto and with the anode and cathode plates welded to their respective anode and cathode ribs, are then reassembled to the centerboard.
