You have just answered one of the hundred or so questions that always
bothered me.  I have just such a toolbox (but not the book).  I couldn't
figure out what the hell they were expecting you to put in there.  I ended
up putting clean rags there, and it works out OK.  But now you have solved
what I've always regarded as a long standing mystery.  (Although the rags
do stay).
