Capacitors

Photographs of capacitors were needed for a book that Haixue Yan and Harry Bhadeshia are composing on "Functional Materials". Harry had a very old pocket AM/FM (amplitude modulated, frequency modulated) pocket radio, that he opened up (and destroyed in the process) to reveal these objects.
