Mini black-shaft right-angle alpha pot on breadboards...

I discovored this time-saver this week, though I'm sure others have also thought of it. I'll post anyway just in case. 

Instead of using regular pots and a spaghetti of wires running all over the breadboard when prototyping, I've found them inin right-angle alpha pots to be HUGE time-savers! I accidentally ordered dozens of these from mouser thinking they were the kind that can be screwed on to the chasis. At first I was dissapointed, but then found use for them as shown:

Makes for a MUCH neated breadboard I think. You just have to clip off little plastic teeth underneith and fold back the ears that would normally hold them onto a PCB.
