CONT

The self-leveling level (also called [an] automatic level) ... is a precise, time-saving development in leveling instruments. It did away with the tubular spirit level [and] is equipped with a small bull's-eye level and three leveling screws.

OBS

The compensator in the automatic level is what makes it different to the dumpy level. The compensator makes using the automatic level much easier than a dumpy level.
