Quiz - What am I? - oilrag

I was `born` in the late 30`s to a Scandinavian - but came into my own during WW2 and the 1950 allowed me to expand.

I`m round twice over and doubly squeezed. I`m quite familiar to the automobile and indeed your jamjar could pass straight through me.

What am I?

here we go with the clue milking process!! ;-) so i`ll start the ball rollin`

I was originally drawn to the thought of one of the Alpine tunnels, but whilst "googling" i came across this "snippet" - knowing how devious and crytic your clues are, i thought maybe something nearer to home maybe in order,???

>>Reinforced gunite lining was applied in a number of tunnels in the UK (e.g. the Mersey Tunnel), which led to the publication of a handbook on Cement Gun Work in London in 1934. Thanks to the refinements and patented inventions of Swiss engineers, shotcrete machines reached the industrial production stage in the 1950s and 1960s<<

fits alot of the hints, even if not right!

p.s

me enjoyed the drinks!! however i converted them to real beverages (Grouse n Coke) at my local this eve! - please send me your address so i can send you the tab!! ;-)

cheers!

Nice try, that Billy. ;-)

But it`s light and lives in the dark. There are many and some are not light and yet regularly see the light.

The one of many referred to is in the dark, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. It has been called (generically) the best of it`s kind in a Century.

The "O" ring

Yes, I think it's the "O" ring too. Invented by a Dane, and if you take jamjar literally it fits!

Are we anywhere near?

The Grouse and Coke - sounds like a good name for a pub.

If I ever ran a pub (I won't) I'd want to call it The Millipede, so that someone could knock the opposition out at pub cricket.
