[ARC5] More Condenser/Capacitor Trivia

[Richard Knoppow]

     If you mean "jar" there is a good citation to a British Navy 
publication with a link to archive.org. I have the 1938 edition of 
_Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy_ Jar is defined in paragraph 168 with a 
note that it is obsolete  and the value given as
1 micro-farad = 900 jars or
  1 jar = (1/9x10^-8)F
    This is the same as the value indicated in the Wiki article.
