The dual of an isogonal polyhedron, having equivalent vertices, is one which is isohedral, having equivalent faces. The dual of an polyhedron (having equivalent edges) is also isotoxal.Duality is closely related to reciprocity or polarity, a geometric transformation that, when applied to a convex polyhedron, realizes the dual polyhedron as another convex polyhedron. .; Rollett, A.

Brass Monkey are an English folk band from the 1980s, who reunited in the late 1990s. They were innovative in their use of a brass section which was atypical for English folk music.The band originally consisted of Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick, Howard Evans, Roger Williams, Martin Brinsford.Carthy was a well established musician at their formation, having been a member of Steeleye Span and The Watersons, as well as leading a successful solo career. Kirkpatrick had also played with Steeleye Span for a time, and worked with Carthy in the Albion Country Band. The two formed an occasional trio with Evans after all three appeared on Carthy's albums Because It's There and Out of the Cut. Brass Monkey was formed with the addition of Williams and Brinsford after initially being billed as The Martin Carthy Band.In 1984, after recording their first album, Williams was replaced by Richard Cheetham.

The band recorded the two albums Brass Monkey and See How it Runs. Both primarily consisted of traditional songs and tunes and were later re-issued on a single CD under the title The Complete Brass Monkey. They also guested on Loudon Wainwright III's 1986 album More Love Songs.Description provided by under.

What Is The Origin Of The Term 'Brass Monkey'? The story goes that cannonballs used to be stored aboard ship in piles, on a brass frame or tray called a 'monkey'. In very cold weather the brass would contract, spilling the cannonballs: hence very cold weather is 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'. Welcome to BRASSMONKEYZ.COM. Welcome to the Brass Monkey Cartridge Company. It is our commitment to provide high quality reconditioned brass to both commercial reloaders and the reloading hobby community.

Brass Monkey is a name given to a number of different cocktail recipes. As with many lesser-known cocktails that are named after colloquial expressions, there are widely differing recipes that share the same name.

The premixed cocktail labeled Brass Monkey was produced by the Heublein Company in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Heublein pre-mixed bottled cocktails were fairly inexpensive and provided a portable alternative to regular mixed drinks. Heublein was based in Stamford, Connecticut, and had production facilities in the Hartford, Connecticut area. The Brass Monkey cocktail was available in bottles from half pint up to 750 mL. At the time that the Brass Monkey cocktail was produced, liquor stores carried mostly beer, wine, and hard alcohol; there were very few premixed alternatives.

The drink was named by Steve Doniger, an advertising executive, after an alleged World War IIspy named H. E. Rasske. The ad campaign was created by Allan Kaufman, who crafted a series of stories about the spy, using an old photo of his father as the image of Rasske.^[1]

In 1982, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company acquired Heublein Inc. for $1.4 billion. RJR Nabisco sold the division to Grand Metropolitan in 1987. Grand Metropolitan merged with Guinness to form Diageo in 1997.

Sales and popularity of Heublein's Brass Monkey spirit cocktail increased in the 1980s after the release of the Beastie Boys's song of the same name. It was widely and incorrectly believed that the Beastie Boys were referring to a different drink made from a 40-ounce container of malt liquor mixed with orange juice ('forty' is mentioned in the lyrics). However, Mike D has publicly confirmed that the premixed Heublein cocktail was their muse.^[2]

After several years of absence from the market the Brass Monkey premixed cocktail has recently been re-released as The Club Brass Monkey. Produced by The Club Distilling Company of Stamford Ct., Brass Monkey is currently sold in liquor stores along with other premixed alcoholic beverages under the name The Club Cocktails owned by Diageo.^{[citation needed]}
