To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Set the leather-hard cylinder upon a new bat which is slightly damp and which runs true, on the wheel. The first problem is to center the work. A pencil line may be run upon the bat making a circle just the size of the cylinder. Then as the wheel is revolved it will be seen if the piece runs true. It is quite unlikely that this will be the case. Perhaps the bottom is true but the top circle is untrue. In other words, the axis of the cyl- inder is not upright. Turn the cylinder upside down and t...ry if it will run any better. It it does the work may be begun in this position. If it does not, turn it back again. Now take a pencil and hold it with a steady hand so that it just touches the near side as the wheel goes round. Lift up the edge of the cylinder on the side marked by the pencil and slip a morsel of clay under it. Revolve the wheel and try with the pencil again. In this way raise or press down one side, keeping the bottom circle in the center until both top and bottom are run- ning as nearly true as they can be made.
