To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Watery mortar also contracts excessively in drying (if it ever does dry), which causes undue settle- ment and, possibly, cracks or distortion. The bricks should not be wetted to the point of saturation, or they will be incapable of absorbing any of the moisture from the mortar, and the adhesion between the brick and mortar will be weak. The common method of wetting brick by throwing water from buckets or spraying with a hose over a large pile is deceptive, the water reaches a few brick on one o...r more sides and escapes many. Immersion of the brick for from 3 to 8 minutes, depending upon its quality, is the only sure method to avert the evil consequences of using dry or partially wetted brick. Strict attention must be paid to have the starting course level, for the brick being of equal thickness throughout, the slightest irregularity or incorrectness in it will be carried into the superposed courses, and can only be rectified by using a greater or less quantity of mortar in one part or another, a course which is injurious to the work.
