What reading level is The American Car And Foundry Co. in Khaki book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is made up of a mosaic of ingenuity and persistency, of which the following is typical : The caisson, which takes its battle position beside the gun, is designed to protect the gun crew as well as to carry ammunition. To this end its ammunition chest door, back and apron were made of armor plate. This steel was tough and hard enough to resist a rifle bullet at short range, and yet holes had to be drilled in each plate (and there were one hundred and ten acres of these plates) to receive the ...hinges and latches. The caissons could be built no faster than armor plates for them were drilled, and the tough, bullet-resisting steel forbid fast drilling. And so came the necessity of finding better and quicker ways to pierce these plates. A special drill, made from a new alloy of metals, did not solve the problem, although it improved production. But the shops still cried, "plates, more plates." And then came the inspiration, an inspiration commandeered by persistence and the genius of hard work.
