Grant,
I have time for as many interruptions as needed, even if it means in the middle of replacing the entire plumbing system in our kitchen and back yard ($5000 later, ouch, 1925 cast iron pipes suddenly gave way...in a bad way!)
 
I have to dig up some references for you, ca. 1912 or so.  Your method not only was successful, it was even manufactured.  I think one of the tradenames was "Monolith", or something similar.  (Or was that a T-Rex song?)
 
<digging><digging><digging>
 
AH HA!   Wow, Rochefort made it!  That's wild.  I didn't realise that part - they manufactured (Octave Maximilien Rochefort and Alfred Wydts) some neat Tesla and induction coils in Paris.
 
But we're talking series-parallel caps:  Here you go!

I think this is what you mean.  
The browsable page is here:

Check out this chapter/book in general.  Its nice!  I even think there is one on Ebay now.  Damn expensive though, but I remember once when you couldn't get a copy for less than $300.  Its the size of a large phone book!
 
Good job.  It does make sense.  It does work.  Convenient and practical.  I remembered that page from first seeing it over ... geez...well, 12 years at least.  If I could only remember something useful, like taking out the trash on the correct night.  At least I remembered what book it was in.  
 
You might try it with overhead transparencies.  They might not be perfect, but they're see-through, fairly cheap, and easy to work with.   You can forward this to the TCML list for anyone interested.  I unsubscribed a while back, and haven't paid any attention to things lately.
