• 1) Fabricates anode units for use in electrolytic cells, using handtools and power tools: Paints cell bottoms, using brush.

• 2) Assembles cylindrical form jig with handtools and hoist, and positions copper bars, graphite blades, or carbon electrodes in jig.

• 3) Opens valve to admit melted lead to jig, or pours in lead to specified level, using container to secure copper bars, graphite blades, or carbon electrodes in place.

• 4) Lifts anode assembly from jig, using hoist, and positions anode in cell bottom.

• 5) Fills tar pot with mastic or tar mixture and turns valve on pot to heat mastic tar to pouring temperature.

• 6) Opens spigot to fill container with mastic or tar, and pours it into anode assembly to prevent corrosion of lead and cell bottom and leakage around joints and copper bars.
