Level
A level for use with a transit instrument. The transit instrument was taken to Station D (Christchurch, New Zealand) of the Transit of Venus expeditions of 1874. The level is in a pine wood box made to fit the level exactly. The level itself is made of brass and screwed onto a mahogany mount. The scale on the level is made of paper with divisions from 20 to 0 to 20 written on in black pen.
