Trundle-and-Pitman Churn: One Crank Turns the Dasher Staff and Lifts It Up and Down at Once

Edward L. Dorsey of Greenwood, Indiana, received US 23,556, dated 12 April 1859, for giving a churn's dashers two motions at once. A crank turns a wheel with teeth on its face. The teeth work between the rounds of a trundle (lantern) wheel on the dasher staff and turn it, while a pin on the same wheel works a pitman that lifts and drops the staff. The staff carries a round dasher at its foot and an armed whipping dasher above; the up-and-down dasher keeps the cream from simply swirling round. This rung builds it in wood and steel rod on a square food container.
