Woofer and Tweeter (Laser with Speaker and Mirror)
1963

A conceptual drawing on a tan background featuring a corner of a room with a laser and speaker setup. The laser is mounted behind the wall on the left, projecting a red pattern onto the opposite wall. Annotations describe the components, such as a "5 mil. laser mounted behind wall," and a "4" speaker with front surface mirror glued to front of cone." Additional notes indicate that music creates the pattern keyed to beat from the speaker, and there are instructions for drilling a hole through the wall for the laser. The bottom right corner includes a detailed drawing of the speaker with labels "Range woofer & tweeter."
