What reading level is The Traveling Post Office; History And Incidents of the Railway Mail Service book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wooden racks consisted of rows of wooden bars, one foot apart and six feet long, placed on top of supporting posts or stanchions, and running length- wise of the cars. The bars contained hooks on which the sacks were hung, and they could be taken from the posts when not in use. There were four rows of sacks, and each row was four inches higher than the one in front of it, the rack being 50 THE TRAVELING POST OFFICE SO elevated and the floor so raised as to accommodate the ele- vation of the... rack. This left room for a table in front, and an aisle along the side of the car. Changes were made later in both letter and paper cases. Mr. W. L. Hunt, superintendent at St. Louis, Missouri, had a rack made of gas pipe instead of wooden bars. This rack was level on top instead of being ele- vated for the back rows, and was stationary. These two feat- ures were inferior to the old wooden rack, but the idea of using iron pipe was appropriated by Mr. C. R. Harrison, of Chicago, who devised the Harrison collapsible rack, which, with little or no improvement, is in use at the present time.
