On account of the shrinkage in size which cheese undergowhile in the press over night, several devices have been con-trived for automatically taking up the shrinkage and keepingthe cheese under pressure. The simplest of these contin-uous pressure devices consisted of a set of one to four coilsprings, enclosed in an iron box, which was put in the pressalong with the cheese. The springs were closed by thepressure applied at first, but later they expanded as thecheese shrunk. The Sprague device consists of a weighton a long lever arm, which in moving downward opens a 208 Cheese Making. toggle joint, and offsets the cheese shrinkage. These de-vices have now been largely replaced by presses in which a. Fig. 45.—The McKinnon Cheese Press. Several styles of cheese can bepressed at once.

Amongpresses built on this plan are the Helmer, the McKinnon,and the Victor.
