EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this fascinating photograph of The Mechanical Cow, an early vending machine that graced the streets of Ilford, Essex in 1911. This innovative device, which predates the more commonly known soda or candy vending machines, was an automatic milk supply, offering fresh milk to the public in a convenient and self-service manner. The Mechanical Cow, a name given to this intriguing invention due to its cow-like design, allowed customers to fill jugs with milk for just one old penny. Its installation marked a significant step towards the modernization of food distribution and the democratization of access to fresh milk. This postcard image captures the essence of this early vending machine, showcasing its unique design and the curiosity it undoubtedly inspired in onlookers. The cow's head, complete with udders and a milk pail, dispensed milk directly into the jugs placed beneath it. The intricate details of the machine, from the gears and levers to the ornate design elements, are a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the time. The Mechanical Cow, a fascinating glimpse into the past, stands as a reminder of the continuous evolution of technology and the convenience it brings to our daily lives. This photograph, taken in 1911, offers a captivating look at a time when self-service and automation began to transform the way we accessed essential commodities like milk.
