To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even if supplemented by the electric bell, it is still useful. The oldest knockers were of iron, and while crude were far from un- interesting in design. Even with the brass name plate they be- longed with the other iron fittings or with such fittings combined with a limited amount of brass. Old ones are very apt to be somewhat rust-eaten and in purchasing them one should be care- ful that they are not too far gone. Brass or bronze are undoubtedly better materials than iron, owing to the tenden...cy of the latter to fill up with paint if not carefully done, thus destroying the design; also because of the aforesaid tendency to rust if not thus protected. With the older houses and iron hinges, iron is the thing however. The most common form of the knocker was that in which the hammer "straddled" the design, its pivots generally occupying a position at its extreme width. The other type, which did not perhaps admit of as much variation of design, had but one pivot. In HARDWARE 83 design it is generally the elaborate effort that is of the later period.
