Quick question as I'm cleaning the armature, and before I go to far.  I'm wondering what is under the commutator?  Like in this picture here:

or here:

Is that crud and old grease, or is it some kind of padding that Lionel had put in? 
Kind of silly question but before I start digging it all out with a toothpick.. I've yet to find one in my google travels of a super clean mint armature!
