From the Rolls-Royce experimental archive: a quarter of a million communications from Rolls-Royce, 1906 to 1960's. Documents from the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation (SHRMF).
Continuation of a report on the leakage conductance and breakdown voltage of wax paper.

wax paper, the leakage conductance being as follows :-

Up to 60°C - 0
80°C - .001- micromhos
100°C - .004- "

These figures were also taken after baking the paper at 100°C. which apparently drives out absorbed moisture. The breakdown volts per mil were found to be 1620.

It will be seen that all three papers are very good electrically and, in fact, better than out present standard paper.
