PRESSING PLATES IN THE RECORDING PROCESS.......
At the pressing plant, stampers are created from the acetates
Each acetate is coated with a thin layer of silver nitrate and washed in stannous chloride which is then electro-plated with nickel. Once this has set the two are seperated and the plate produced will be a negative of the acetate with ridges instead of grooves.
This plate is called the “father ” or the “master “, which is then oxidised, plated again and when set the two discs are seperated, this time producing a “mother plate”. The “mother plate” is an exact replica of the lacquer acetate that was originally brought into the plant and is used to check for any errors in the plating process.
From this “mother plate” further “father plates” are created using the above process and these plates are known as the stamper plates as they are the ones that press the actual records out.
This lengthy process is gone through as the stamper plates wear out after so many pressings and with having a metal “mother plate” on the shelf this enables as many “father plates” to be pressed as required.
Condition of the discs are very good. Visually, some surface marks but nothing to detract from this super rare Bolan collectors item. The studio box has had brown tape on it which has obviously left it's mark on the box
