There is reason to believe that Thomas Blanchard was indebted to Mr. Ken- dall for some of the most valuable parts of his machine for turning irregular forms. Unquestionable authority asserts that Asa Kenney of Sutton, now Millbury, clock maker, who had a government contract for stocking mus- kets was the first man to project a machine of this kind, and that Blanchard adopting his ideas constructed another which failed, as did Kenney's. He then consulted Kendall, told him he thought a machine for turning irregular forms might be made, and asked if one constructed so and so (describing his

own), would not do it; to which Kendall after some thought, replied, no. After further consideration he gave his ideas of what would make the ma- chines a success, upon which Blanchard made a model, tested it and had it patented.
Mr. Kendall transacted a large business at New Lebanon, N. Y., until his decease, when his sons, who were all employed at the trade, succeeded him.
