  Press-fit roll spindle with shaft encoder attached to one serial port on
a PDP-11 running a backround job counting total turns, comparing against
approximate turns-to-roll-exhaustion, and triggering (thru another serial
port) an appropriate alarm, or perhaps printing out a TP-LO Warning.

  Now how do you tell if the previous occupant actually washed their
hands?
