Ummm....
The Richard Quick document is actually the source I used for my post.
It explicitly states that horizontal plate caps require a vacuum, and
verticals don't.

I think the Mike Hammer document refers to a cap with vertical plates,
since it mentions would spacers and/or foam to hold the plates in their
positions.

Were your ASCII images drawn from above for from the side.
If they're from above, you shouldn't need a vacuum.
