The parts I remember seeing in surplus in the late 1950's, so even older, was a hollow ceramic tube, with a wire at each end of the tube, wrapped around the tube for a couple of turns before the part was painted and color code dots added. I assume one plate of the cap was plated on the outside of the ceramic tube and the other pale, on the inside of the tube.

Were the tubular "dogbone" capacitors unique to Tek, or were they a commonly available third-party component in the 60s and 70s? Does anybody have any information on how these were made? Was there a "correct" jargon for them?
