Téléphérique à lait

-

This "milk carrier" was designed in 1893 by a small Jura company in Saint-Lamain to lower the cans of milk (bouilles à lait) from the day's two milkings to make Comté cheese, from the hamlet of Chaumois-Boivin to the village of Blois-sur-Seille, where the cheese dairy was located. Five hundred metres of cable and two hundred metres of ascent. There was no engine: the basket containing the full balls descended, allowing the basket with the empty balls to ascend. A simple, ingenious mechanism kept it running from 1893 until the dairy closed in 1982. Demonstrations on Thursday afternoons in July and August at 3pm and 5pm.
