What reading level is Railway Passenger Travel 1825 1880 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" RAILWAY PASSENGER TRAVEL.
The Miller coupler and buffer was patented in 1863, and obviated many of the discomforts and dangers arising from the old methods of coupling. This was followed by the Janney coupler and a number of other devices, the es- sential principle of all being an auto- matic arrangement by which the two knuckles of the coupler when thrust to- gether become securely locked, and a system of springs which keep the buffers in close contact and prevent jerking and jarring when th...e train is in motion.
The introduction of the bell-cord running through the train and enabling pas- sengers to communicate promptly by means of it with the engineer, and signal him in case of danger, constitutes another source of safety, but is still a wonder to Europeans, who cannot understand why pas- sengers do not tamper with it, and how they can resist the temp- tation to give false signals by means of it. The only answer is that our people are educated up to it, and being accustomed to govern themselves, they do not re- quire any restraint to make them respect so useful a device.
