Hi, Patrick. Nearly every plating textbook will have a chapter on silver plating and a chapter on racking. Please see our "must-have" booklist. If you have any specific questions we will be happy to try to answer them.

I have to make a project on differential silver plating fixtures. It's a value engineering project. But I have played a role only in designing silver plating fixtures. I don't know how should I start my project. Please guide me.

Hi, Patrick. Sorry, but I cannot help you structure your project -- we get more than a dozen such requests every day, and structuring a project is obviously very time intensive and perhaps the largest part of the project. But you might want to look at letter 56363 where a plating shop employee in Mumbai is asking almost the same question -- perhaps you can work together. Libraries in Bombay, like the Indian Institute of Technology central library, have dozens of important electroplating textbooks. If you find that there are particular parts of those books that you don't understand, myself and other readers can probably help you with specific questions.
