The chariot is the storage plinth or monkey in Navy slang for the cannon balls. This was made out of brass hence the golden chariot. When the weather became realy cold the brass contracted at a different rate to the stored pyramid of cannon blalls and they would fall of resulting in the saying" its cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey"
