Delaware, 1942. $25 Specimen 4.5% Convertible Sinking Fund Debenture Bond, Black text with yellow border and background. Red specimen overprints, POCs, VF condition, HBN. Cornell-Dubilier Electric Corporation has been manufacturing capacitors for more than a century - 109 years as of this writing to be more precise. That is utterly amazing, especially since they still use the name of the company founder, William Dubilier. In 1933, they merged with Cornell Radio to form Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). If you have been in the electronics field for a while, you no doubt have heard of their capacitors. In fact, William Dubilier was the inventor of mica-based capacitors. According to this obituary in a 1969 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine (he died on July 25, 1969), Mr. Dubilier held 600 patents. I found a newspaper obit that claims Dubilier was offered, but did not accept, a knighthood and pension for life by the British as a reward for inventing a submarine detection device used in World War I by the French and British governments. Mr. Dubilier also invented an electronic flash tube, several radio broadcast systems, and such diverse items as nylon window screens to one of his last developments, in 1966, a sinus-congestion mask.
