Invented in the early 1700s, Dumpy Level was considered standard, until the Transit Level was invented in the 1830s. The level has further evolved into an Automatic Level. This automatic level is an optical instrument leveraged in surveying and building to transfer, measure, and set horizontal levels.
The Dumpy level was a simple device with a small telescope, and a bubble level attached to it. Although, the design to date remains the same, modern-day Automatic Levels have more bells and whistles. Professional automatic levels are built for the construction site and general survey tasks. They are precise, easy to set up, and will ace every performance comparison - from general construction applications to precision leveling for deformation studies and industrial measuring tasks.
