What reading level is The Story of Thomas a Edison book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One thing was a poser. No engine of the type they desired had ever been built for continuous running. The oil cup for self- lubricating was unknown; every four or five hours it was necessary to stop and oil up.
THOMAS A. EDISON 109 Edison said this wouldn't do; any engine to suit his purpose must keep going. Eventually Sims solved the problem with the drop-feed oil cup, a type of which is now generally used on all engines.
At last all was ready. On Saturday night, September 4, 1882, the current... was first turned on to the mains for regular light distribution in the city of New York, and it stayed on for eight years with only one slight stoppage. One of the original Sims engines first put on the job ran twenty- four hours a day for three hun- dred and sixty-five days before it was stopped. Crude enough it was in many respects, but it did the work, and served as the father of the modern power-plant engine — another vast field which thus owes its rise to Edison.
A glimpse of that first electric light station would be an eye-opener to the modern elec- trician.
