What reading level is Pumping Engines for Water Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

To illustrate this, supposing that a pumping engine could be supplied with 7, 000 Ibs. Of steam per hour from the boilers; and that without steam jackets, say, 30% of the total steam will be condensed within the cylinders. Then we should have a loss of 2, 100 Ibs. Of steam, making only 4, 900 Ibs. Available for work per hour. This would at the best record give 472 horse power, and counting the lost steam there would be a consumption of 14. 7 Ibs. Per horse power per hour without steam jackets. ...By the use of steam jackets in such an engine properly applied and operated, if 15% of the total steam supplied should be used in the jackets and most all of the initial condensation prevented, then the amount of steam saved per hour would be 1, 050 Ibs. Giving available for work, 5, 950 Ibs. Of steam, which at the record rate per horse power would develop 573 horse power, or give a horse power for 12. 2 Ibs. Of total steam. The gain in power would be 21% and at 8 Ibs. Evaporation with coal at $3 GEORGE H.
