Description: |
This level features two vials on a hinged plate, allowing it to be attached to a surveying rod to level in two directions at once. Gurley was a well-known maker of surveying tools from this time, so I assume it was produced by them.
Known examples are made of bronze, and marked with only the patent date. |
