[SML] Laser spikes

[Scott C. Parker]

Yes. Chris Fretts, I believe, shared his need to place a table in an exact
spot during a blackout. He mounted a laser pointer on a catwalk rail.
During the scene change, a tech pressed the laser button while another
placed the table. They had a small dot drawn on the top of the table as a
spike.
