What reading level is Terra-Cotta in Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The machinery on the first floor includes the washer and slip tanks, for preparing fine clays ; crushers and mill stones for preparing grit, and pug mills for preparing the different bodies used in the variety of clay wares manufactured at these works.
In the second story, and on a level with this floor, are the entrances to the kilns, twelve in number. These are so constructed that they can be loaded, burned and discharged in eight days, so that on demand, more than ten kilns of work a week ca
...n be produced. These kilns will hold from twenty to twenty-five tons of burned terra-cotta.
This gives the Company a total capacity of from $20,000. to $25,000. worth of work per week. On this floor, the work when taken from the kilns is selected, fitted and marked previous to shipment.
The whole of the third, fourth and fifth floors, which contain an area of two acres, are used for the pressing and finishing departments. These floors are capable of holding enough work to more than fill all the kilns, thus furnishing ample drying space at reduced cost and risk of handling.
