What reading level is 75 Years of Gas Service in Chicago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On November 16, 1885, the Illinois Light, Heat and Power Company was organized by forces friendly to the Peoples Company. This Company never asked permission to lay mains; its business was solely making and selling gas. It took over the shop and station at Division Street and Elston Avenues. This Division Street plant is historically important as the first one in Chicago designed and built for the manufacture of carbureted water gas exclusively — that is, without any coal gas benches— although ...water gas had been made here earlier. Water Gas Arrives Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe obtained patents in 1872 on a process (more properly, on the apparatus essential to the pro- cess) for making carbureted water gas. This process is, with slight modications, still in use. The product is "carbureted water gas, " commonly called "water gas, " because a hydrogen gas is made by passing steam through incandescent beds of coke or coal and is then "carbureted" or enriched by adding other elements derived from oil.
