Subject: [Lowfer] Capacitor value in centimeters?

Hello Lowfers,

I have a book titled "Handbook of Technical Instructions for Wireless  
Telegraphists" dated 1918.
In it, the value of capacitors (condensers) is expressed in centimetres  
and/or jars, both of which
mean nothing to me.  I did a quick Google search for a conversion formula or  
table, but no luck.
Anyone here know how to convert capacitance expressed in centimetres into  
terminology that
we use today?
