Back when I was working I was wearing company supplied uniforms. The pants hangers used a cardboard tube to support the weight of the pants. These tubes are just about perfect for making new shells for replacement caps. An old tube from a Sprague .1 600v is within a mm or so. New Mylars fit easily inside even though the wall thickness is bigger. Each tube is long enough to make about a dozen shells.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
