Paper capacitors

Hi I need the following information on paper capacitors:-
capacitance range
tolerance
voltage rating
temperature coefficient
typical applications.

Can anyone help?:?

Hi,
former their are practically all "film capacitors" paper dielectiraca & ranges are from minimum nF(I didnt know smaller) up to much uFs, from 100V up to KVs...

I think I saw a paper capacitor about 50 years ago.
Does anybody make them anymore?

Big electric motors are started with capacitors that have oil in them. Maybe they also have paper in them.

Hello! Do you remember it?

Hi Audioguru,
In some telecom (undergrund)amps I found in the 70th too, than in HV circuits/military electronics...
Than, as you told it too, the starter capacitors for AC motors; maybe up to past days, are paper capacitors.

I have never cut open antique parts.
