Hi Betty-There are two meanings for *chaplet*: (1) something similar to rosary beads; and (2) a thin tube used in hinges. This building was used to assemble the chaplets. Old fashioned hinges were made of a hollow tube into which was placed a cylindrical core ... or something like that. I think the actual foundry work was done at the building on the east side of Route 313 just south of the junction of 313 and East Main Street (behind McLenithan's farm). This was the old Lovejoy factory where they made the Cambridge Plow in the late 1800s. Picture can be found here: http://www.ccsindians.com/Cambridge%20Interesting%20Stuff/hingetubeandshirt.htm Mary Ella Arnold (Casey Whitten) Class of 1949, told me how her father, Harry Arnold, used to bring home chaplets and cylinders and they would be paid piecemeal to assemble them while sitting around the kitchen table. I don't remember the sequence of names but the Chaplet Works was also called Cambridge Hinge and Tube ... which better explains what they did in that building Ken
