    Ray,
    There’s only 3.
    Only one end one.
    It’s a bit of a whatsit.
    If there’s decent natural light tomorrow I’ll put up a few more pics.

    I suspect it's missing what would be the primary vial from the 2 small posts, (the one with the screw is the fixed end, the threaded rod and 2 nuts provide adjustment for calibration) like on a Starrett 98

    That would be correct.
    Its a big un 18” long.
    I guess the missing primary vial would have been branded.

    A mate was over last night and couldn’t resist the level.
    It was an early Starrett 98.
