Abstract
Electro-mechanical, milk transfer systems which interlock the dairy farmer's milk holding tank agitator and the pump for drawing milk from the tank into a milk transport vehicle to preclude energization of the pump until the agitator has operated for a minimum, predetermined time; tamper proof circumvention-preventing devices to preclude by-pass of the interlock systems during milk transfer to the transport vehicle; and milk sample-taking units for automatically taking one or more samples of the milk being pumped into the transport vehicle.
