Notes:

Three stone cannon balls sitting on an iron monkey, or stand. The brass monkey was also used, but as it gets cold the brass contracts, and in extreme weather the canonballs fall off, leading (really) to the phrase cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Solid stone shot like this was of course replaced later with nuclear bombs.
