The gravity sys- tem is that which receives the milk on a higher level than the work-room, caus- ing the milk to flow from the receiving-can, in which it is weighed, to the receiving-vat, where it is stored. From this vat it flows through the heater to the separator on a lower level. Leaving the separator, the skimmed milk flows into a tank from which the patrons draw their shares. The cream from the separator flows into cream-vats on the same level. The churn is on a lower level, so that the cream will flow from the vats to the churn. In the pumping system the receiving platform is elevated to allow the milk to flow from the receiv- ing-can to the receiving-vat, all the other work being done on one level and pumps used for elevat- ing the milk to the heater, the skimmed milk to a storage-tank, and the cream into the churn.
