Even after I looked up electrotyping I still don't get it. Can someone explain what it is in simple layman's terms. I'm reading a biography from a 1915 book and it says, He invented the art of electrotyping in copper, wood-cuts and type such as are used today. In simple terms what does this mean? The book goes on to say, In 1846 he electrotyped in copper the arm of a child. What exactly did this inventor do here?-- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 10:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
