George E. Meese and two models (names unknown) promote new Sealed Beam lamps at Nela Park's Lighting Institute. Val Roper and his team of engineers invented the 7" Sealed Beam headlight system in 1936-37. The innovation probably saved many lives by protecting against nighttime auto accidents. Meese, who was on Roper's team in the 1930s, also headed the team that developed SniperScope, the first operational night vision system, which was deployed for the first time in 1945 in the Pacific theater of World War II. Meese also went on to invent the four-headlamp high/low 5-3/4" headlight system in 1958, setting the new industry standard for headlights that reduced glare during normal operation. | Creator: Parade Studios, Inc., 1375 Euclid Ave., Cleveland 15 Ohio | Date: ca. 1948-54 | Source: George P.
