Meaning of: CELLULOSEARB.

This word, "CELLULOSEARB." is found in this 1899 Norwegian birth record as the position of the father:

In the 1900 census a year later his position is jernbanearbeider (railworker). My google translate isn't able to figure it out. Thanks!

    Arb. would be an abbreviation for "arbeider-laborer". Since cellulose is used in the making of paper, and there was a paper mill in Gjøvik (neighboring parish to Vardal), I would presume that he worked at the paper mill.
