Ee it known that we, Gnoizons and EUGENE Buisson, both'citizens oi the Repbiic ,of France, residing at 66 Rue Arsene Cherouu, Montreuil, Seine, in the Republic of France, have invented a 'cer-- ,tain new and usefui. improvement in infocgs'ses for Eiectroiytically Bening Tin, ci
@which the following is a. specification.
The invention which forms the objeci oi thisvappication for pat-ent and which refining of tin applicable to any conducing maeria containing tin or sewing io support it, is bas'ed essentiaily upon the compostion of time eioctrcyte n on the arrangemen rendering it. possb e byoontinuous circulation to insure a ermanen condition of sauisztlon to ine foie.
