Now it is time to solder in these three electrolytic capacitors. These
components must be placed the correct way round or else the
circuit will fail. Each capacitor has a positive lead, which is the
longer lead, and a negative lead, marked by a white or grey stripe
on the body. In Figure 14, the longer lead (+) and white stripe (-)
can be clearly seen.

Place each component as shown in figure 15 below, with the longer
lead in the hole marked ‘+’. Solder in and trim the leads.
