==============================================
Grandad (VGN engineer W.R. Bloyd) kept a bunch of cotton waste in the 
garage in Victoria and used it for things like cleaning shotgun bores, fishing 
reels and cleaning stubborn bug juice and other stains off the car and other 
metal and wood surfaces around the place. 
Grandad said that VGN steam locomotive crews on the west end had used 
water-dampened waste to breathe through when going through tunnels.
