Section 2-1: Inflecting example 待たされていました contradicts the causative formula
In the book causative defined as 五段未然形+せる/一段未然形+させる.
待つ is a 五段 verb, so its causative form should be 待たせる, and 連用形 of this should be 待たせ, therefore the verb should be 待たせていました.
Am I missing something here?
Can someone evaluate the explanation of this verb form. Is it correct or not?

I skimmed over the text and to my poor knowledge it seems correct. However instead of making others read your text of choice it will be more beneficial to you to check other texts yourself - this way you will both be able to gain confidence in the text and perhaps find new useful perspectives on the material in question. – kroki Feb 14 '17 at 7:38
