The MAGNET insole was Levine's own take of Maxwell Sachs' spring-o-lator. The Levines were the first to experiment Maxwell's invention (as seen in LIFE magazine May 24, 1954) but were not granted exclusive rights for its use.
The model "The Circles" (above) is kept at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and its record date (c.1950) can now be amended.
