Capacitor Kit: Electrolytic and Ceramic Disc Capacitors Measured, Marked and Sorted
A workbench assortment of capacitors put together from the two kinds made here: wound electrolytic capacitors for large values and fired ceramic discs for small ones. Each is measured, marked and sorted by value.
Result: a capacitor kit of electrolytic and ceramic disc capacitors, every one labelled with its value and the electrolytics with their polarity.
Source: assembled from the Danziger electrolytic capacitor (US 2,107,780) and Coffeen ceramic disc capacitor (US 2,789,061) blueprints; the measuring, marking and sorting are Youblob's own. Picture: Wikimedia Commons.

Measure each capacitor
Measure each capacitor
Measure the capacity of every electrolytic and ceramic disc capacitor. Ours: a benchtop LCR meter.

Mark value and polarity
Mark value and polarity
Write the measured value on each part. Electrolytic capacitors are polarised: mark which lead goes to the positive side. Ours: a permanent marker.
