==Invention==
In 1832, English civil engineer William Gravatt, who had worked with Marc Isambard Brunel and his son Isambard on the Thames Tunnel, was commissioned by Mr. H.R. Palmer to examine a scheme for the South Eastern Railway's route from London to Dover. Forced to use the then conventional Y level, during the works, Gravatt devised the more transportable and easier to use dumpy level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Gravatt )〕
