For an Improved Pendulum Churn: Caleb Angevine, City of New York.

The churn is the common dasher churn, the rod of which is to be worked up and down by a pendulum. A frame is to be made, across the upper part of which there is to be a shaft turning upon gudgeons; from this hangs a weighted pendulum. The shaft is crossed by a lever, one end of which is attached to the dasher rod; from the other a pitman descends to a treadle. The pendulum may be made to vibrate by the hand; or the foot may be placed upon the treadle for the same purpose. The claim is to “the application of the pendulum principle to the dasher, which equalizes the power applied, and assists in passing the reacting points in the rise and fall of the dasher, and also in the application of the foot power, which relieves the arms and chest in the act of churning."

We apprehend that this machinery would be improved by removing the frame, the shaft, the pendulum, the pitman, and the treadle, and taking hold of the dasher by the hands, as dairy maids have been in the practice of doing from time immemorial.
