    Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

    The resultant number determines the level at which the particular bid should be made (Klinger 1994) according to this scale: 7 = a one level bid; 8 = a two level bid; 9 = a three level bid .... etc. An alternative way to look at this is that the bid should be to the level of the number of tricks equal to the SQT number.

    Model railway scales and gauges are standardized in NEM 010, [1] which covers several gauges for each scale. Narrow gauges are indicated by an additional letter added after the base scale as follows: no letter = standard gauge (1,250–1,700 mm or 49.2–66.9 in) m = metre gauge (850–1,250 mm or 33.5–49.2 in)

    English: The video shows a recording of a participant looking at a rightward moving random dot pattern (dot lifetime < 200ms). The participant was instructed to execute stare nystagmus. Fast phases and short phases are visible. In addition, over the course of the video the so called "Schlagfeldverlagerung" ("shift of the beating field") is visible.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_level_gauge

    A magnetic level gauge pulled out from inside the valve housing on top of a railway tank car in the United States [1]. A magnetic level gauge is a level gauge based on a float device that can experience floatation in both high and low density fluids.

  9. Spirit level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_level

    A line level is a level designed to hang on a builder's string line. The body of the level incorporates small hooks to allow it to attach and hang from the string line. The body is lightweight, so as not to weigh down the string line, it is also small in size as the string line in effect becomes the body; when the level is hung in the center of ...
