This
cream
cooler
worked
when
cream
trickled
from
the
trench
at
the
top
over
the
tubes
which
were
filled
with
cold
running
water.
The
grooves
down
one
side
of
the
cooler
indicated
it
was
probably
part
of
a
milk
separator
or
something
similar.
It
is
thought
to
have
been
used
for
a
single
cow
or
a
very
small
herd
in
the
early
1900s.
