A level is a measuring instrument used to determine the horizontality or verticality of an element. There are different types and are used by surveyors, carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, aluminum workers, etc. A level is a very useful instrument for construction in general and even for placing a table, since the perspective generates errors.

The bubble level would be the invention of the French physicist and writer Melchisédech Thévenot (1620-1692) in 1661 or 1662.1 He filled his instrument with alcohol, mounted it in stone and equipped it with a lens. He communicated his invention to Robert Hooke in London and Vincenzo Viviani in Florence.
