What is the significance of the yorker cap? Measurement? I'm a bit mystified.

Yorker caps are like the caps on the sauce and catsup squeeze bottles you see in resturants. Some have counted drops of epoxy from each to get a mix, but I like things to be a bit more accurate so I use syringes. Some have cut the yorker caps down till the tips of their syringes fit snugly in the hole and are left that way permanently, just inverting the epoxy bottles to get a fresh batch for a mix. Others have just drilled a like hole in the existing caps to do the same thing.
Confused you enough yet?

Adds clarity and I guessed at what said so I'm not confused. I just thought by emphasis on "the yorker caps" that there had to be higher reason for them. Thanks for filling in the blanks

I use them for easy pouring. I use the plastic mixing cups with the measurements on them

They were originally manufactured by Yorker Packaging in Denver, Colorado, thus the name.....
