One minor (well, OK, nitpicking) comment on this thread.  A bathtub 
capacitor is either square or rectangular and looks vaguely like an inverted 
antique bathtub.  And the terminals are mounted individually to the body, not to 
the flat removable surface.  I don't think there is a generally accepted term 
for the cylindrical capacitors common to the A.R.C. built Type K derived 
equipment.  I've heard them referred to as "flower pot", although flower pots 
don't generally have feet and they don't have lids.  Chamber pot?  Small 
crock pot???
