I've been acquiring back issues of Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette, and I came across an article in the May/June 1993 issue on The Craddonium Connection. According to the authors, Craddonium was discovered in France in 1835, and later in America. This substance can be used as a rocket propellant or an explosive, having the properties of completely stable nitroglycerine, and when mixed with chalk from a certain region in France, causes steel to become" as malleable as macaroni."
