Laser Level
notes: label: Description
content: Prototype laser level made by Robert H. Studebaker (1911-1999) in Ohio, circa 1964. Studebaker would later recall that, "when the laser had only recently been invented, I conceived the idea of a rotating laser to create a plane of light as a signal to control large equipment. Very quickly, I realized that the concept wasn't limited to the original application but would be useful in many areas to make work easier and increase productivity."
