A bakelite block capacitor is just one or more wax-paper caps potted in a bakelite shell. Occasioanlly there is a cap and resistor.

Just like any other "to be replaced" wax-paper cap. Philco's way of making easier assembly in the factory. Many times, unused terminals on a bakelite block were used as a convenient terminal for other passing-by wiring or components.

See my site for identification of types/values and re-building instructions.
