Before the introduction of plastic films, capacitors made by sandwiching a strip of wax-impregnated paper between strips of metal, and rolling the result into a cylinder–paper capacitors–were commonly used; their manufacture started in 1876, and they were used from the early 20th century as decoupling capacitors in telecommunications (telephony).
