Re: 'THAT' Capacitor. What is it?
Within the Forum we soon get an understanding of the shop talk slang. I struggled with "that capacitor" initially, with exactly the same question. I can't remember how it dawned on me, quite possibly a previous post just like this one. As Dave says in post two, the ever present search box will provide chapter and verse on this and most other subjects.
Personally, I always think in terms of paper rather than either waxie or Hunts, both of which are ambiguous, for different reasons.
We also sometimes get the statement that "there is no that capacitor" in a radio. The best course of action may be that when replying to a new member, or one that has been honest and made it quite clear that they have no experience, we refrain from using that or any other slang. It still leaves the problem of people reading posts from experienced members, but there is little that can be done about that as with everything.
