What reading level is Locomotive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A correspondent sends us a newspaper clipping descriptive of the action of a New York tug captain in attempting after a collision to run his boat ashore before the water leaking in could reach the boilers "and cause an explosion".
With it he writes that this " and numerous articles in relation to the * Titanic ' and other sinking ships leads me to ask you if there is any foundation whatso- ever for the newspaper theory that boilers in sinking steamships explode because of being plunged into col...d water".
We agree with the view of this gentleman as further expressed that the theory is not tenable and that even should a boiler under such circumstances fail locally the force of the explosion would be slight owing to the almost instantaneous condensation of the steam when submerged in the cold water.
We admit that we have not ourselves been on a sinking steamship, but our company has had opportunity of examining boilers which have passed through that ordeal, and others which because of a fire have had cold water poured upon them.
