Default Cleaning rods questions

Okay, I'm going to show my limited knowledge. I don't understand why Luger and C96 cleaning rods ends are designed as they are. Why the long threaded portion (similar to a jag?)?. Why the longitudinal slot through the threaded portion? How were they used (patch, strips of material, cordage)? I realize that this is not a very important discussion, like the Russian Luger, but you have to think about things like this--something else to clog the brain.
