Looks great as usual Rod! Is it a keeper?

On a similar note and not intending to hijack the thread or anything, but I ran across this Patent file for a slider dispensing mechanism and thought I'd share.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2174712.pdf
Notice it says "Dairy Dispenser". The Instructional decal (from my Barq's 55) that I have also mentions vending milk. Anybody ever seen an Ideal as a dairy vendor?
