Re: Re: HI
The balls were stacked in a pyramid one at the top 4 under etc. They were held in this postion by a brass triangle at the base known as a monkey.When the temperature got to below freezing the brass triangle would shrink as brass does,(she says knowingly) then the balls would topple over . Hence the saying ITS COLD ENOUGH TO FREEZE THE BALLS OFF A BRASS MONKEY Another bit of useless information.
