Description
Business was prospering for Kenyon Labs and Gyrostabilizer Corp. with gyro orders from the Navy, Air Force, Life Magazine, National Geographic, M.I.T. and the New York Port Authority. Ted was still improving on his Marine instrument patents and since 1954, Ted had been working with Aeroflex on his patent for Gyro Vertical Construction. The patent wasn't granted until December of 1961. About a year and a half earlier, a Mr. Hussey of Aeroflex had purchased 51% of Kenyon Laboratories stock and paid Earnest Pallme to run the company as Vice President and General Manager.
T ed Kenyon was truly a brilliant man who had nearly 40 patents attributed to him throughout his lifetime. Ted's first patent, filed in 1930, was for the boat speedometer with his own company, Kenyon Instrument Inc. out of South Boston, Mass. The company manufactured marine speedometers, airplane instruments, electrical switches, etc. The company dissolved after being bought by Sperry Gyroscope Co. in 1936. Sperry didn't want the speedometer business, but did want him to join them. He did, and with Sperry's permission, Ted organized the Kenyon Instrument Co. in Long Island, N.Y. in 1937.
