For modern capacitors, yes, *BUT* there were some chassis-mounted caps with POSITIVE (outside) cans/cases.

The Germans (and those in many other Continental European countries) certainly do that when WRITING the number 7. However, I can't recall ever seeing it on a PRINTED 7. This is (of course) because they start writing a 1 (one) with a long slanted up-stroke, followed by a vertical down-stroke. As such, it's not unlike an 'artistically' written 7. The addition of a horizontal stroke through the vertical down-stroke of the
7 prevents it from being confused with a 1. With a printed 7, the top stroke is definitely horizontal, and there is no confusion.Most non-Europeans write a 1 (one) as a single vertical down-stroke, so there is no possibility of confusion between a 1 and a 7. However, if you decide to embellish a 1 with the short slanted up-stroke at the top and the foot at the bottom, you have to be careful that it cannot be confused with a 2.
