    Meant to send this to the List, but apparently sent it directly to Ken:

    My six inch, model #98, Starrett level came with a card containing the
    following information:

    The main vial was ground. (there's also a small cross-level vial).

    Graduations on the main vial are at 1/10 inch intervals.

    A bubble movement of 1/10 inch indicates an elevation of .005 inches per
    foot.

    My experience is that it's easy to level to the half-division, or .0025 per
    foot.

    Bruce
