This has gone far enough. In my copy of "Everyman's Wireless Handbook",
published in England in the Twenties, the term "capacitator" is used
as synonymous with the British "condensor", Yank "capacitor".

And you can mock me all you want for not being sure whether the
British word is spelled "condensor", "condenser", or "condensator".
