It's acetone you need - not chloroform! With chloroform it really will be a WMD and not a WMP! Once you have the 3ft Stilsons under tension on the eye of the shock, give the end of them a persuasive tap with a 4lb lump hammer - that should sree the sucker! Am i speaking Anglo-faxon? I furely think fo! Chances are if you asked that question of an American, he didn't know what you were talking about! Example - some new to the UK Americans in the local Co-op - "That's more than a gallon of milk in there" - "No, it's 8 pints" - "But it's heavier than back home". This went on in various forms arguing over whether it was an 8 pint container of milk or not or whether there was something weird about it as it was heavier and seemed bigger. Cue yours truly who explained US pints are 16 fl oz and ours are 20 fl oz so it's about 25% bigger and heavier than a US gallon of milk. Then i explained it was cheaper to buy two half gallons than one whole gallon - friends for life lol! A trivial example but if there measurement are different to ours then a 12-tonne press might be nothing more than a 6" vice that can exert 12-tonnes of clamping pressure. Bearing in mind a "vise" often refers to a "Vise-grip" that we know better as Mole Grips...........
