Hello
I know what a cascode circuit is but I don't know why it's called cascode. Google can find lots of examples but I didn't find anything about where the word cascode came from. Is it a name? Is it related to cascade?
Also when did a condenser become a capacitor? My farther's 1944 Radio coil and transformer manual never mentions capacitor only condenser. So it was obviously a condenser then, at least in England. Googling suggests that it's still a condensateur in french. Who changed it to capacitor? and when? and why?
Thanks for any replies.
