[ARC5] Radios in the Movies

[Richard Knoppow]

     Well, this is a dead horse now but I will beat it just the same. I 
just ran across an ad from Solar, once a major manufacturer of 
capacitors, in QST. Its dated July 1946, the name of the company is 
Solar Capacitor Sales Co and the product is described as "capacitors".  
So the term was in use at least in the mid-1940s.
     BTW, does anyone know what happened to Solar?  They seem to have 
disappeared around the late 1940s along with Micamold.
