Description
A figure of a pocket-sized level designed by Robert Hooke, in a letter by Thomas Gale to St George Ashe dated 27 March 1686. Although this figure differs considerably from the one found among the papers of the Dublin Philosophical Society (British Library, Add. Ms. 4811, f. 117v), the principles illustrated here are the same.
