[ARC5] Bathtub Capacitors

[J. Forster]

Hi,

Does anybody know:

What are the cans of WW II bathtub capacitors made of? Brass or Steel?

What is the plating? Tin? Zinc? ??

What kind of oil was used to fill them? Mineral? Something chlorinated?

Is there an increased failure rate on caps with one side electrically tied
to the case v. those with both terminals of the cap floating?

Thanks,

-John
