That page has a paragraph with bizarre statements like I've never seen:
Uses of Noninductive Capacitors
There are a varied set of applications for noninductive, coated capacitors. They make excellent blocking and coupling devices, are efficient by-passers and circuit filter elements and also work well in circuit timing. Subsequent uses are found in audio equipment, sound production devices and telephony. They act as high-power, high-voltage resistors, "snubber" resistors, used in railway technologies and in discharge applications. Ceramic carbon noninductive capacitors make resistors which are 100 percent active, as described by Hill Tech.
DUH? Can someone explain this - "They act as high-power, high-voltage resistors, "snubber" resistors, used in railway technologies and in discharge applications. Ceramic carbon noninductive capacitors make resistors which are 100 percent active".
I see nothing about this on the Hill Tech page cited.
