Abstract
Although the milking machine was introduced many years ago it did not become widely used until economic conditions from 1940 on favoured its rapid adoption by farmers. In this article the development is discussed in its more scientific aspects. Principles on which the use of the machine should be based are outlined, and an account is given of recent research work, showing how the properties of the machine can affect milking efficiency.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
