ABSTRACT A sensor for an inclination measuring device is disclosed which comprises a capsule 3 part-filled with a conductive liquid. First to fourth electrodes A-D are disposed within the capsule in contact with the liquid. An electrical signal is applied between electrodes C, D and one then the other of electrodes A, B, to derive a signal indicative of the degree of immersion of the electrode A, and then the electrode B within the liquid. The ratio of these signals is related to the angle of inclination of the capsule about the reference axis O and relative to a first reference angle defined at the gap between the electrodes A, B. A similar gap, defining a second reference angle is disposed between electrodes C, D, perpendicular to the gap between electrodes A, B, and by reconfiguring the electrodes A-D, to measure the degree of immersion of electrodes C and D, the sensor is able to sense any angle of inclination about the reference axis.
