The plumb bob inventor is lost in history .
It is not known who invented the plumb-line or plumb-bob; there is evidence that it has been in use since biblical times and archaeologists haveÊunearthed what they think are plumb gaugingÊtoolsÊin Ancient Egypt.
The plumb bob is useful in establishing vertical for a wall in construction or a doorjamb when hanging a door. It can indicate whether a flue is running true vertical or veering off plumb. A plumb-bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a water level.
To use a plumb bob to find the correct fixing point, the bob must be suspended from an area above the desired point. Once it has stopped swinging, one can mark their preferred point against the line. This will ensure a straight line.
