to reset horizontal levels Explanation: A dumpy level, builder's auto level, leveling instrument or automatic level is an optical instrument used in surveying and building to transfer, measure, or set horizontal levels. Waterpassen means: to set horizontal levels. I'm not sure what the translation of "terugwaterpassen" is, I'm not even sure whether it exists in Dutch. The only translation I can think of is to "reset horziontal levels" Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveying Reference: http://www.builderbill-diy-help.com/laser-level.html |
