  1. We have a machine - churn at home. We work it by turning a handle. We also have an old churn. It is about four feet high, It is round in shape but is wider at the bottom than at the top.
    It is eighteen inches in diameter at the bottom. It tapers up to three and a half feet. It is only twelve inches in diameter at that height. It then gets wider again
