I had never seen anything like those large glassfuls before.
A glassful may be an indication of the capacity, but it is not a measure of the capacity, and as such would not satisfy paragraph 4.
I think he was a little apprehensive about the way that such colloquial terms as "skinfuls"and"glassfuls" might be taken.
A third of a pint is roughly about a glassful of milk.
I will certainly look into the question of glassfuls, "toothfuls"and"skinfuls", and see whether they can be eliminated.
The capacity should not be in portions or glassfuls, but some measure that everyone recognises.
I do not believe that glassfuls, and so on, are measures of capacity at all.
