What is a "dumpy level"?
A dumpy level is a type of optical instrument used in surveying and construction to measure and establish horizontal levels over long distances. It consists of a telescope mounted on a tripod that can be adjusted to a horizontal position. The instrument has a spirit level built into it, allowing the user to align it properly. A dumpy level is typically used for tasks like leveling land, establishing floor levels, or setting out foundations. It is known for its simplicity, durability, and accuracy in measuring horizontal lines in surveying and construction projects.
Example
The surveyor used a dumpy level to check the level of the ground before starting the foundation work.
The dumpy level helped the engineers establish a consistent grade for the road construction project.
The construction crew checked the level of the floor with a dumpy level before laying down tiles.
