A pendulum line level is presented which makes reading the level easier and which allows a workman to utilize a level that is calibrated in degrees. The level is essentially rectangular and has two rotating dials in the body of the level. These dials rotate freely about a pivot point. Each disc has a pair of horizontal and vertical, perpendicular pointers which are used to determine when the level is in horizontal alignment with the ground. A calibrated scale located just outside the upper left quadrant of the left disc and just outside the lower right quadrant of the right disc allows the workman to read discreet angles of orientation. A second embodiment of the device has a gate with another pair of dials which swings perpendicular to the main body of the pendulum level. This second set of perpendicular dials allows the workman to determine when the main body of the level is in a vertical plane and to determine at which angle the main body of the level may be oriented.

[ Having fully described my device, I claim:] [1.] A pendulum line level device for measuring the angle of orientation of a workpiece, comprising:(1) an essentially rectangular main body having an essentially square cross-section having a pair of left and right pivoting indicator discs located within said body;(2) wherein each of said left and right indicator discs has a pair of horizontal indicators and upper and lower vertical indicators, and wherein each disc is rotatably attached within said main body, and wherein said lower vertical indicator has a pendulum weight located at its bottom, wherein when said pendulum line level device is tilted to an off-level orientation, the gap between adjacent off-level indicators narrows, thereby producing a pronounced and highly visible sign that the pendulum device and workpiece are off level;(3) calibrated scales located just outside the upper left quadrant of the left indicator disc and just outside the lower right quadrant of the right indicator disc; and(4) an attaching means for attaching the pendulum level to the workpiece.
