What reading level is A Practical Treatise On Railways Explaining Their Construction And Management book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two men w^ould run such a carriage as this at the rate of 20 miles an hour, and by its means assistance might be procured in the case of an accident from the next station in a very short time. The working wheels, if 3 feet in diame- ter, should make about 190 revolutions per minute; and the carriage complete, should not weigh more than 2 cwt. , so that the two men could lift it off the line out of the road of any thing that it might by any possibility meet ; but if lifted at first before starti...ng on to the proper line for travelling on, in the direction it would have to go, there would be no chance of anything being in its way, except under very extraordin- ary circumstances.
In case of an axle breaking, particularly wdth four-wheeled engines, proper supports with flanged rollers should be fix- eda small distance above the rail, on which the engine should come directly the axle went. Numbers of crank axles have broken from bad welding and other causes. Perhaps the best way to prevent this, is in all cases to have the entire crank and axle cut out of a solid piece of iron, which can be, and has often been done, or to do away with them altogether, and have straight axles, which can be accomplished.
