As with StoneNib, the scroll decoration on Davis Levels referred to  
mystical rights of which we are no longer privy. I have heard that if  
you align a Davis Level to true north, you will always find your way  
home. But that may be hearsay.

But then I have also heard that by deciphering the meaning behind the  
Stanley Plane Numbering system, one will attain nirvana.
