What reading level is Robert Fulton His Life And Its Results book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
probably the "Comet" and the " Vesuvius. " The " Comet " was finally laid aside, and the engine used to drive a saw-mill ; and the " Vesuvius " was destroyed by the explosion of her boilers. In 1813 there were two shops at Pittsburgh building steam-engines, and it is stated that as early as 1840 there were a. Thousand steamers on the Mississippi and its tributaries.
In the "Washington" (built at Wheeling, Va. , in 1816, by Capt. H. M. Shreve) the boilers, previously placed in the hold, were car...ried on the main-deck, and a "hurricane-deck" was built over them. Two horizontal direct-acting engines were adopted instead of the single upright engine used by Fulton, and were driven by high-pressure steam without condensation. The engines, one on each side of the boat, were at- tached to cranks placed at right angles. He adopted a cam cut-off, and the flue-boiler of Evans. At that time the voyage to New Orleans from Louisville occu- pied three weeks, and Shreve was made the subject of many witticisms when he predicted that the time would be shortened to ten days.
