This means that an iron cannonball that is 4" at 10°C is going to measure 3.999032" at -10°C. If it is in a 3" brass hole, that hole will shrink from 3" at 10°C to 2.998842" at -10°C . This is close enough to not shrinking for me. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Brass Monkey!!!
