combining form of voltaic a.1 used in a few technical terms, as volta-electric, volta-electrometer, volta-inductric; voltaplast (see quot.); voltatype n., an electrotype; v. trans., to electrotype.
voltagraphy, given in some Dicts. as a synonym of ‘electrotypy’, after Penny Cycl. (1843) XXVI. 434/2, was coined specially for use in that work, and appears to have had no real currency.

Ibid. 93 The instrument offers the only actual measurer of voltaic electricity which we at present possess... I have therefore named it a *Volta-electrometer. 1839Noad Electricity iii. 130 Its terminal wires are soldered to a Faraday's volta-electrometer. 1875Knight Dict.

1842Francis Dict. Arts, *Voltaplast. Such is the name given to that form of galvanic battery which is adapted to the electrotype.
1842Brande Dict. Sci. 1309/2 Gold, silver, and other metals may..be substituted for copper, and thus a variety of *volta⁓types may be obtained. Ibid., It often happens that the article to be voltatyped, as this process is now called, is not a conductor of electricity. 1875Knight Dict. Mech. 2714/2 Volta-type, a cast of an object obtained by the gradual deposition of a metal from a metallic solution, through the agency of electric action. |
