To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The shape may be like Fig. 1, or Fig. 2. Fix the Fig. 1. Fig. 2. wheels about a half inch apart on a splinter of wood, an inch and a half long, which passes through their centres, forming a sort of top or tee- totum. Spin this on something which will contrast with the spokes; — on a dark ground if the card-board be white, and on a light ground if it be dark. While it is spinning, look at it at an angle, so that the spokes on one side of the upper wheel will overlap those on the opposite side of... the lower wheel, which are mov- ing in the contrary direction. An appearance will be seen like that in Fig. 3. By moving the eye up and Fig. 3. down, so that more or less of the upper and under spokes will over- lap, the curves will change their position and form. The same can be seen by using only one wheel and spinning it beneath a lamp, or in sunlight, so that the shadow will take the place of the second wheel. The same toy can be made in larger form by nailing slats crosswise on one another and mounting them on an axle.
