This paper describes a means of obtaining direct temperature records of food in cans while being rotated during processing. The modified pilot steriliser is equipped with simple thermocouples connected to a recorder mounted upon a turntable, itself turned synchronously with the can carriers. By this means continuous records of temperatures inside the cans may be obtained even though the cans are rotating. This machine has been used successfully in investigation work on milk products. An example of the results obtained by this means is included.
