MILKING MACHINES
PRESENT INVESTIGATION STANDARDISATION QUESTION The question of standardising milking machinery was receiving careful consideration, stated the New Zealand Dairy Board in a letter to Mr L. R. Harris, of Kiwitahi, which was tabled at a meeting of the South Auckland Dairy Association today. Research was being prosecuted, said the letter, to determine if it were possible to draw up specifications for a standard milking machine that would be efficient from the point of view of mechanical simplicity and durability, milk hygiene and the effect on the udder. The question of setting up standards by the Standards Institute was also being considered, and if it were found that suitable standards could be determined, these would be presented to the milking machine investigation committee with a view to having the necessary action taken. The Dairy Board’s letter was in reply to one forwarded by the association drawing attention to investigational work being carried out by Mr Harris in connection with milking machines.
