What reading level is Metric System of Weights And Measures An Address Delivered Before the Convocatio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet the French did make the experiment of dividing the quadrant centesimally, both in tables and in instruments ; and what was thought of its convenience by the ablest astronomers and geodesists of that day may be inferred from the following incidental remarks of DELAMBRE, in his description of the operation of measuring the great French meridian arc. " Three of our four circles, " he observes, " were divided into decimal grades or degrees, each having the value of 360 -f- 400=0. 9 540 = 3240".... This division is much the most convenient for the uses of the repeating circle, and would be equally so for the verniers of all instruments whatever. Many persons hold to the old system by habit, and because they have made no use of the new ; but no one of those who have practised both, will willingly return to the old. " When the metric system shall be universal, it is probable that the decimal division will be once more 86 THE METRIC SYSTEM OF applied to the circle. Nothing could be less conveni ent than the sexagesimal which is now employed.
