The Inclinometer. Using his carpentry skills and some of his stockpile of Honduras mahogany, John has built a device which can be placed on a road surface and in about 15 seconds (time for the level to settle down and come to a rest) you can read the % grade of the inclined surface. The device was designed for a working range of 0 to 25% grade, with the greatest sensitivity in the bottom 10%

1) Aberarder east of Lakeshore (dip at the golf course) -- west side 4%, east 4% and then 2%
2) Oil Heritage climbing south from Douglas to Aberarder -- lead-up 1%, south of bridge 3%, north 3.5%
3) Camlachie overpass over 402-- N & S side 4.5%
4) Warwick overpass over 402
5) Tile Yard north into Petrolia (hill from Janzen's to the stop sign)-- west side 3%
6) Dow/Suncor overpass
7) Hungry Hollow north of Townsend-- south of bridge 10%, bridge 2%, north 7.5% (other hills on Sylvan Rd <4%)
8) Kerwood north of Townsend-- max 5% on 2 slopes, most were <4%
9) Douglas just west of Forest - 6%
10) Watford CN overpass - 12% (highest grade in Lambton County)
11) Camlachie north of Churchill, gentle grade is 1.5%
