Re: A subject near and dear to all our rears
MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
Which direction do you use the paper?
Over the top from the front?
From the rear and the bottom?
It is all very subjective and depends on your particular brand characteristics and mounting situation. In my "thinking time", I have made a fairly detailed, albeit limited, study of this.
Given: Using the same single-ply grocery store house-brand (appears to be a Scott clone) at both home and camp.
Observations and conclusions:
Home: Postion B, because if mounted in Position A, it often doesn't tear as required at the perforations and a whole ****load of paper unrolls onto the floor before you can stop it. Does you no good there.
Camp: Position A, because Dad made the dispenser 54 years ago out of a sawed-off section of window shade roller. If mounted in Position B, the roller flips out from the shade brackets and the whole roll tumbles onto the floor. Again, of no use.
So as you can see, you have to adapt to individual circumstances.
