Spin-True, not tram-it, damn it

As usual I was a little confused. The tramming device is called Spin-
True, not Tram-It. According to its makers,

"How does it work? A sensitive electronic circuit measures the
distance between the sensor (under the BLUE LED) and the machine
table. When the spindle is turned on, the sensor rotates and the
BLUE LED lights to indicate the "low area." By adjusting the tilt of
the machine's head, the arc of light expands until a complete ring of
light is seen. When a uniform blue ring of light is seen, the
spindle is perpendicular to the table."

And here's the URL:
