    From George-
    
    A snag with bonding the levels in that way is that you are then unable to
    pick them up and turn them end-for-end (a test which inspires confidence).
    Another snag may be that for low altitudes the levels may get in the way of
    the light, unless the plate is rather large. And if the plate IS rather
    large, isn't it better to test with the level the part of the surface where
    the reflection is happening, not another patch near the edge?
    
    I would be interested to discover what accuracy listmembers have been able
    to achieve when using such solid levelled horizons.
