The General Radio 980 Series Decade Capacitance Units were introduced in Catalog O (1956) and remained available through Catalog S (1965).
The Type 980 Series decade capacitance units are comprised of four capacitors mounted on a 980-P1 switch. The capacitor values are selected in a "1-2-2-5" combination, e.g. the values for Type 980-A are 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, and 0.5 μF. The eleven-position switch maintains a combination of the four standard capacitors in parallel to produce the decade of capacitance values.
Capacitors using different dielectric materials are used in the series − polystyrene, silvered mica, paper, and moulded silvered mica. The Type 980 decade units are components of Types 1419-A, 1419-B, 1419-K, and 1419-M Decade Capacitors. The switch mechanism without capacitors was also available separately for service or experimental use, as Type 980-P1.
