High five, girl, as I learned the same thing in Home Ec in 1964.
Doesn't work worth a damn, AFAICS, as you still get grease on the
glass measure, so what have you gained?

[And I bailed on that Home Ec class - only girls were "allowed" to
take Home Ec and only boys were "allowed" to take shop. I went to war
about it on my second or third day into the Home Ec class. My dear
aulde dad backed me up. Upshot was, I got to take shop - and jammed a
cold chisel into my hand on my second or third day, thus
proving...okay, shaddup.]

Still mechanically inept as hell...
