'This table shows the weight of salt which should be incorporated to give any desired percentage of salt from 1.0 - 2.0. It will be noted that 1lb of salt per box will give 1.8 per cent of salt. This figure may be taken as a basis for mental calculation, if an objective other than 1.8 per cent is required.'Provenance and SignifcanceThis slat control chart was used in the production of butter at the Illawarra Cooperative Central Dairy Factory at Albion Park Rail.

The Illawarra Cooperative Central Dairy (ICCD) factory was built beside the railway line at Albion Park Rail on land provided by G L Fuller.

The formal opening of the ICCD was 27 September 1899. C W Wood was appointed manager, and H R Hobart the engineer.

Two steam engines drove the machinery and the refrigerating plant. Pasteurization was introduced in 1903 and by 1905 the Company was delivering milk to Sydney in hermetically sealed tanks.

The butter making section was upgraded in 1925 and in 1935 a new milk section was opened. The Company continued to improve and in 1956 marketed the "Warrilla" brand of butter.
