1836W. H. Smith Birmingham iii. 33 The patterns still lie on the sand of the ‘odd side’, as it is termed. 1903Work 11 July 364/1 It is necessary, when the mould is commenced, either to block up the half of the flask to a level with the parting line on the pattern, or to sink the same into a bed of sand as far as its greatest diameter. This bed of sand is known as a match or ‘oddside’, and it has importance as a time-saver. 1928W. Rawlinson Mod. Foundry Operations xiii. 177 The use of oddsides eliminates the necessity of making a joint in the moulding operation, as is the case when moulding with a loose pattern. 1960R. Lister Decorative Cast Ironwork ii. 45 When the plaster has set, the sections are removed and placed aside, and the bottom section placed in another oddside. 1972P. R. Beeley Foundry Technol. viii. 351 Where a flat parting plane intersects the pattern, moulding is simplified by providing a split pattern and dispensing with the oddside. |
