Description from the Journal of the Franklin Institute, V17, Jan 1836, pg. 195
For a Churn; Joseph Turner, Poland, Cumberland County, Maine, August 15.
"This churn has a formidable array of levers, rods, and connecting joints, by which two dashers are to be worked up and down in an oblong square box; we do not think it worth the space which would be required to describe it, or to furnish the claim; the former would show a complete mode of effecting that which has been repeatedly, and as well, done by more simple means; and the latter a variety of mistakes in supposing old things to be new."
