| Description: |  | This patent covers an "infill" level, consisting of a cast metal frame with
    wood inlaid into the sides.  This will prevent the level from warping, and 
    make it lighter.
    The patent text also mention a new kind of adjustment for he vial, but
    this is not present in the claims, and so was probably rejected. |  |
