Extract

An improved milk-flow recording instrument is described which is completely controlled by the milking operations in an experimental dairy and which automatically indicates the end of milking in terms of a predetermined rate of milk flow. The instrument makes possible the recording of milk-ejection curves without changing the milking routine or requiring an additional operator in the milking shed.
