Olin - Mathieson Cell

The success of the latter venture was evidenced by the fact that the capacity of the plant was greatly enlarged, and except for minor changes, the old Castner rocking cells were in continuous operation from 1897 to 1960 [33]. They were finally replaced by lOOkA Olin Mathieson cells. 

The special feature of the Olin-Mathieson cell lies in the system of mounting and adjusting the anodes. Above each row of anode rods, a U-shaped copper or aluminum bus bar also serves to support the anode lifting gear. The anode rods are bolted to the U-shaped bus bar. The anodes are adjusted as a group, either manually or by a remote computer with the remote computerized anode adjuster (RCAA) system. The currents are measured independently of the cell potentials by means of reed contacts [90].
