What reading level is Britain's Heritage of Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A piece of iron half-an-inch thick melted and burned when the current was made to pass through it, and a rod of platinum two feet long and a quarter of an inch in diameter was also seen to melt. A steam engine of 15"h.p. was required to drive the shafts of the machmes.
Eye-witnesses testify to the great impression created by these experiments, and there can be httle doubt that the pubUo then first began to recognize the potentialities of the electric current. Rapid advances were quickly made, a...nd the modern " dynamo-machine " was soon evolved ; Wilde himself had already called his machines by that name.
As soon as commercial interests are involved in scientific appliances, new problems of an economic nature arise. The weight of metal to be put into the different parts of the machinery has to be adjusted so as to obtain the best results at the least cost, and other matters have to be con- sidered. Apart from some contributions by Lord Kelvin, it may be said that the economics of the dynamo-machine depend almost entirely on the researches of John Hopkinson, who, perhaps, more than any other British man of science, combined the commercial faculty with the highest scientific attainments.
