In the linked clues is it 'Brass nickel' or 'Nickel brass' - both sound equally right.

The silence, at 1030, is deafening !!!!

Presumably we are all having difficulty in matching these two linked words.

Apart from choosing which way round they go. Should there be a hyphen between the two words ?? Hope someone can help.

Nickel Brass was given earlier in the KM links results, but I disagree, I think Brass Nickel is correct. I often use onelook.com and cannot find Brass Nickel

Horribly, both are correct within the context laid down for Herculis.

Nickel brass is a kind of alloy, however, "Not worth a brass nickel" is a popular colloquialism.

Don't you just HATE these clues?
