Biographie
Nicolas Alexandre Baradelle was placed by his father with Nicolas Manche for a three year term as an 'alloué' on 18 July 1751 (1). He presumably worked as a journeyman with his father from 1754 to 1761 when he became free in the Founder’s Company on 3 October by patrimony and by masterpiece. In December 1762 he married Gabrielle Marie Mignot, the daughter of a stone-setter. With his father Nicolas Alexandre no doubt made the standard mathematical instruments in brass and silver customary for founder-instrument makers, but he also made at least one walnut-cased set of geometrical shapes in boxwood although he was somewhat defensive about them (3).

Apprentice:
1765 Jacques Renard
Notes biographiques
1. AN/MC/ET/LXXXII/312, cited from Millet 321 n. 64. An 'alloué' was someone contracted for a defined period of training but which, unlike an apprenticeship, did not allow access to the freedom.
2. Augarde 66; Rocca & Launay 2023.
3. Frémontier-Murphy 311-14. Two further sets in the CNAM (inv 3824 and 3825) are dated 1805 and must therefore have been made by Louis Jacques Baradelle.
