What reading level is Minutes of Proceedings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fig. 15 shows one method of placing the extra load on the recoil valve, viz., by a small inverted press having in its normal condition an open communication with the waste-water tank, which communication is closed, and the press charged with water under pressure, by the first movement of- the lever employed to open the inlet valve (A) of the recoil cylinder. Experiments, made at Elswick with a recoil press of the nature described, gave very satisfactory results. It was found that the recoil cou...ld be regulated with precision, and that the most perfect control could be exercised over the movement of the gun on its sKde. The same arrangement of recoil press may be used inde- pendently of the application of hydraulic power, to check recoil and to control the movements of gun-carriages on their slides. The loaded valve not only serves to arrest recoil, but as a working valve to govern at will the passage of the water from one side of the piston to the other, and, by thus controlling the motion of the piston, to govern that of the carriage to which it is attached through the piston-rod.
