You'll need years of specialised technical training to answer this one.

Google:

According to the WD-40 Company, the name "WD-40" originated in 1953 when the product was first developed. The company, originally known as the "Rocket Chemical Company", was trying to design a protectant for metal parts on rockets to prevent rust and corrosion by displacing water... hence the "WD" for water displacement.

The "40", on the other hand, indicates that the formula (still in use today, by the by) was the 40th attempt to get it right! And they did. Talk about persistence!

DON"T throw them out.


Send them to the Mods clubhouse, they use it as lube for the "meetings".

Now, here comes the main problem: since there are two ends, which one should be placed in that groove on the knob? I read the instructions, searched the net, but I couldn't find the answer. Can you shed some light on this one, based on your extensive knowledge on the topic?

I got this one!
When you have an end placed in the groove on the knob,slowly raise your eyes and follow along the length until you come to?THE OTHER END!The correct end is always opposite of the wrong one!To double check,look from the other end,and if you see an end in the groove,you just verified the connection is the correct one!

I have found inserting the little red tube (straw) in your nose is a perfect method of knowing where it is at all times.
