I have a lot of examples of their spirit levels at Stanley..... their plan=
t closed in the 1990s


more is the shame....


.....level is level.....a laser now does a much better job...


I lived in Bennington for 20 years. Near the Shaftsbury plant in Vermont th=
at made them for over a hundred years.....

But I keep my Stanley spirit pocket level to true up my wheel head if I mo=
ve it from one studio here on campus...to another. Just bought a new wheel=
from LongQuan...leveled it in about a minute.


IMHO


they did some great work...wonderful design and craftsmanship.

life moves on....from spirit levels to laser levels....

and further...........from Bell to cell phones.

kick wheels to electric motors....what's next?


solar?

nice thought?
