Modern dairying would be impossible without milking machines. But it took a century after the first such machines were invented before they were widely adopted in Australia. For millennia, humans had milked cows and other animals by hand. In the 19th century, as mechanisation began to change agricultural practices, people started to apply their minds to the milking operation. The first milking machines were patented in 1838, says the Australian Bureau of Statistics. But, they add, it wasn’t until the late 1930s that milking by machine became the norm in Australia. It wasn’t through want of trying. Both overseas and in this country, numerous machines were tried and patents applied for. Many new patents were subsequently applied for using vacuum suction and, in 1895, the pulsator milking machine was invented. In 1897, Robert Kennedy and William Lawrence, an engineer from Glasgow, produced the Lawrence Kennedy milking machine which, in 1903, was improved by a Victorian dairy farmer, Mr A Gillies. The resulting LKG machine was widely used in Australia, although most dairy farmers continued to milk by hand until the 1930s. Source: australianfoodtimeline.com.au/milking-machines-in-australia/
