Default Capacitor Shield ?



No real clue except an explosive shield.

There is a polarity on non-polarized caps. It is suggested that the "foil side" go to the low Z point in the circuit. Typically this would be important in a vacuum tube circuit. Not all caps are marked alike, "Foil side" used to be a common marking.
