Vintage Cast Iron & Brass Centrifuge Standard Tester for Cream Butterfat Testing - $75 - (Abilene, KS)

For your consideration is a STANDARD TESTER. This brass and cast iron device works as a centrifuge to test the butterfat content of cream. Each of the four brass cylinders, has some cream put in it; the faster the crank is the turned, the angle of the cylinders changes. At a high rate of speed (through gear reduction, the cylinders move much faster than the crank) the cylinders become horizontal. This enables the person to test the quality of the cream. It has a maximum height of almost 13 1/2". On this cream centrifuge, there are some paint splatters. Other than the paint splatters it is in OK, used & working condition. Please, carefully examine the pictures, as the pictures are part of the description.
