Particular difficulty has been found The With reference to FIG. 1, the dispenser is easily attached to a standard spot tester with two set screws 1 which are pre-assembled to the support bracket 6. A one time alignment of the paper slot 5 with a standard spot smoke tester is necessary and easily achieved. The dispenser can 4 is pre-loaded with approximately 15 (more or less) feet of paper 7 providing a sufficient supply for many tests. The filter paper 7 is moved and handled only on the edge protruding from the spot tester, its movement being in increments as determined by the numbers on the paper 7. After a test is complete the strip can be pulled out for overall inspection and the gray density of the test spot 9 can be compared with reference repeating gray scale #8 and separated from the remainder of the roll within the container 4 by using the serrated cutting edge 11 within the container 4 by using the cutting edge 11. The advantage of the test spot 9 under an indexing number 10 is apparent as each test is ready for identification, even though the paper might be dropped or become disorentated.
