595 shiftout capacitor

Neither is correct. The value is the text, 0.1"f. is obviously not correct since " is not a valid prefix. The value on the diagram, 1uf, seems pretty large and it will probably distort the latch signal. Most likely the value should have been 0.1uF. Note the leading 0 which is there to call attention to the decimal point which might otherwise be lost in the editing/publication process (as probably happened in this diagram in this case). Also note the capital 'F' since this is the name of a unit (and a person).

You would think that someone would have noticed this previously, it's only been five years since the article was written and just over a year since it was last edited.
