Description: | It is the surveyor's job to measure the location of a pit and to determine where shafts, buildings and underground workings should be placed. One of his tools is a level, which is set up with great precision using a spirit level. With this instrument the surveyor can measure differences in height very accurately. This level was made in the 1800s by Cail, a Newcastle instrument maker. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East made in the North East coal mining industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
