THE METHOD OF REDUCING THE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTING MATERIAL TO A SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA, COMPRISING MEASURING THE AVERAGE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF INCREMENTS OF THE MATERIAL TO BE REDUCED, CONTINUOUSLY PASSING THE MEASURED MATERIAL INCREMENTS THROUGH AN ELECTROLYTIC BOTH HAVING A CATHODE SO THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MEASURED INCREMENTS AR IMMERSED IN SAID BATH AND PASS SAID CATHODE, APPLYING A DIFFERENCE OF POTENTIAL BETWEEN SAID CATHODE AND THE IMMERSED MATERIAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AVERAGE MEASURED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF THE MATERIAL INCREMENT PASSING THE CATHODE SO THAT THE CURRENT FLOWING IN SAID BATH IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE MEASURED AVERAGE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF THE MATERIAL INCREMENT PASSING THE CATHODE, WHEREBY THE MATERIAL IS REDUCED TO A SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA.
