Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Milking Machine as a Factor in Dairying: A Preliminary Report, Practical Studies of a Milking Machine, Bacteriological Studies of a Milking Machine
With this machine the milk is drawn by intermittent suction The suction may be created by either a vacuum pump or a steam ejector. Connected with the vacuum pump is a vacuum reservoir and a pipe running the whole length of the cow stable, with a connection valve or vacuum cock between each pair of cows. A safety valve is connected to the reservoir to prevent the vacuum from running higher than is desired.
The machine itself (pl. 4, fig. 1) consists of a heavy tin pail, which is cone-shaped and holds about 55 pounds of milk. The cover of this pail is a disk, in which is a vacuum motor which produces the pulsa tions in drawing the milk from the teats. The cover fits the pail tightly and excludes all air.
