Bill, I'm surprised a fellow Brit would not know which expands more, Iron or Brass. Have you never heard of the expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey". This has nothing to do with a primate's private parts, but goes back to the times of Nelson when the cannon balls were carried around the ship on a brass "Monkey". If it was as cold as it's been here in Ontario for the last three months, the iron balls shrank more than the brass, and fell off the monkey! So that solves your question - or does it? ;-) Cheers Eric (desperately waiting for spring)
