Can someone describe how one operates and suggest a supplier?

You can buy them at just about any hardware store.
McMaster-Carr has precision levels accurate to 10 seconds:

"The true level of a liquid can be determined by dividing the measured hydrostatic head by the density of the liquid. This method requires a knowledge of the densities of all phases of the liquid. Some of these methods are: pressure gauge, bubble tube, and differential pressure measurement. The bubbler is used at vacuum and low pressures and is especially good for services such as molten sulfur and dirty liquids. In "boiling-liquid" service, a condensate trap must be used on the vapor leg. The level of trapped condensate in the vapor leg will usually be different than the vessel liquid level, requiring compensation of the transmitter."
That's pretty much all I know on the subject.

A sight gauge is a piece of "pipe" that is transparent (such as glass, plastic, "flippers", dial, etc.) and you can see the level within it's range.
A bubbler is as described above.
The two can both be used to determine/indicate level, but are different instruments.
