was Chuck Levy the son of Joseph Levy? I knew Chuck and always thought he was the co inventor. Charlie Richmond 19:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I've been told by an associate: Definitely not Chuck Levy. Eddie Kook and Joseph Levy were the people who gave the name to the ERS as developed in the U.S. Of course, they weren't the only developers of an ellipsoidal reflector-dual plano-convex lens spotlight. They just gave that name to the Century product, and it kind of stuck to all of the genre, like Jello. I think Kliegl wanted some variant of the term "Klieglight" to take on as Leko did, but it never happened.
