The pool is formed by pumping etchant from a tank 12 through pipes 16, 19, and bores 30, 31 in a plate 32, up into the sleeve S, which is secured to the plate. The etchant returns to the tank by overflow into a telescopable member 44, and the level of the pool is determined by the level of the top of the member 44. The member 44 is raised and extended by a wire 51 attached to a winch mechanism comprising a motor driving a spindle formed with a helical groove in which the wire runs, and the diameter of the spindle varies from one end to the other in such a way as to control the height of the pool to take account of variation in temperature and strength of the etchant and produce a uniform taper.
