1665 R. Boyle New Exper. & Observ. Cold 633 They were careful to break the ice in eight or ten several places, to make so many, either vents or Air-holes, for the preservation..of the Fish.

1766 T. Smollett Trav. France & Italy I. xvi. 264 He said that there were air-holes at certain distances (and indeed I saw one of these).

1829 G. Head Forest Scenes N. Amer. 47 These air-holes..are met with at times, no matter what the thickness of the ice may be.

2. Metallurgy. A cavity in a metal casting, produced by the escape of air through the liquid metal. Now rare.

1813 R. Southey Life Nelson vii. 249 [The guns] were probably originally faulty, for the fragments were full of little air-holes.

1857 Jrnl. Soc. Arts 27 Mar. 289/2 It was found to be very difficult to prevent the moulds being affected by air-holes, which in the casting produced what was technically termed by the stereotyper ‘picks’.

1981 Amer. Jrnl. Archeol. 85 254/2 The well forged condition is attributable to one or both of the following causes: careful working of the bloom to extrude slag and to eliminate air holes, or prolonged forging to shape.
