What reading level is Engineers And Their Triumphs the Story of the Locomotive the Steamship Bridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Later on, Jonathan Hulls took out a patent for a paddle steam vessel in 1736; and among others, in England, France, and America, the Marquis de Jouffroy made a steamer which was tried at Lyons, in 1783.
58 ENGINEERS AND THEIR TRIUMPHS.
Then, in 1787, Patrick Miller is said to have patented paddle wheels in Britain.
Miller was a retired gentleman at Dalswinton, in Dumfriesshire, who took much interest in mechanical affairs. He experimented with paddle wheels, and he also endeavoured to improve n...aval building. At first the wheels appear to have been turned by men, and there came a day when a double boat of Miller's, worked by a couple of wheels with two men to turn each wheel, sailed with a Custom House boat, and the need of more efficient motive power to revolve the wheels became very marked. Then the idea of steam navigation was born, or re-born.
There was a gentleman named Taylor, living with Miller, as tutor to his sons, and he often took part in the experiments with the boats. It is said that Taylor suggested the use of steam to propel the vessel, and that Miller doubted its practicability.
