[Hallicrafters] capacitors -

[William L Howard]

Some years back I obtained a booklet of sorts made from magazine
articles taken from an electrical journal of WW II vintage. Mostly
articles on captured German and Japanese radios but there was one
article dealing with capacitors. It was pointed out that the author felt
the German tantalum capacitors were far superior to US made capacitors
however the cost of manufacture made them too costly.

I guess it was know that there were problems with US capacitors even as
far back as WW II.
