ABSTRACT:
A plumb measuring device fabricated from a plurality of detachable modular assemblies includes a first assembly provided with an alignment bar, a scale plate pivotally mounted to the bar for determining the plumbness of a vertical surface, a bubble level attached to the scale plate to determine the level line of a vertical surface, indicia marked on the bar for reading the scale. A second scale plate is pivotally mounted just above the first scale plate for determining the degree of tolerance from plumb. A second modular assembly comprising interchangeable alignment bar extension members to be attached to either end of the bar for increasing the length of the measuring device. A third modular assembly comprising spacer means for detachable connection with the first or second assemblies to act as stand-offs to bridge distorted intermediate regions on a vertical surface. A compass is provided for attachment to the top of the first or second assembly for determining whether a driven pile has been rotated.
