What reading level is The Working And Management of An English Railway book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A primary battery may be used, or secondary batteries as on the ROLLING STOCK— CARRIAGES. 141 Brighton line, or the dynamo may be used direct. Each system has its own supporters, but the greatest con- sensus of opinion, at any rate amongst railway engineers, appears to be in favour of either the secondary batteries, or the direct action of the dynamo, while possibly the ultimate solution will be found in a combination of the two ; that is to say, the train will carry both a dynamo and accumulat...ors ; but whether the dynamo is to be carried on the engine or driven from the engine direct, or is to be driven by a separate engine, or by the axle of the guard's van, are points not yet deter- mined with any degree of authority. The train already referred to on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, carries a Brotherwood's engine and a Siemen's com- pound shunt dynamo fixed on the tender of the locomotive, with an ammeter and switch on the engine, so that the driver may regulate the current, and there are two lamps in each compartment of the train with an automatic switch arrangement, so that in the event of one lamp failing, the second would be automatically brought into use.
