Abstract
The 1922 Milk and Dairies Act started a rapid development in pasteurizing and bottling plant, and the construction of many new dairies. The Model Working Dairy at the 1924 British Empire Exhibition helped to raise standards of performance and reliability. Further legislation ten years later produced new machines for this purpose. The Second World War hastened the introduction of the HTST system and discontinuance of low‐temperature, long‐time holding system. The paper describes the post‐war demands for more congenial and less arduous ways of handling bottles, and further labour saving resulted in automatic mechanical handling plant. Iron, copper, brass and aluminium milk surfaces were all superseded by stainless steel. Speeds of machines were increased sevenfold and labour reduced/gal to about one‐fourth of that customary in 1922.
