1665D. Dudley Mettalum Martis (1854) 30 The Iron thereof made is very Redshare, which is that if a workman should Draw or Forge out a Share mould fit for a Plough in that red heat, it would crack and not be fit for the use of the Husbandsmans Plough or Share. 1674J. Sturdie in Phil. Trans. XVII. 696 Some makes Coldshire-Iron, that is, such as is brittle, when it is Cold; another sort makes Redshire, that is, such as is apt to break if it be hammered, when it is of a dark red Heat. 1794S. Williams Vermont (1809) II. 361 It does not answer so good a purpose; though it is neither coldshire, nor redshire. |
