[R-390] Paper on failure modes of mica capacitors (historical)

[Jim Whartenby]

This paper is from Great Britain.  I am not sure that they manufactured capacitors with the same materials and technique that the U.S. manufacturers used.  When the Cold War was heating up in the early 1950's all of the U.S. component specs were rewritten to insure the best manufacturing practice for increased reliability.  I am not sure what happened on the other side of the "pond" in this respect.  It seems to me that the vast majority of the component issues were solved in the U.S. by the mid to late 1950s which was when this paper was published.
Perhaps some of our fellow R-390 owners in Great Britain can comment?Regards,Jim
