What reading level is War Inventions And How They Were Invented book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When about to throw a bomb, 95 HOW SHELLS WERE INVENTED the soldier slipped this hook into a small ring which was attached to the time-fuse of the bomb. He then threw the bomb, and not until it pulled the cord tight did the time-fuse begin to act. The fuse, being long enough, could burn some seconds before exploding the bomb. In this way the bomb did not explode until it had time to reach the enemy's trenches. Of course the ring to which the bomber attached his bracelet hook was pulled out of t...he bomb when the cord tightened ; it was the sudden with- drawal of the small friction tube attached to the ring which set the fuse alight, just as one does in striking a match. You will see that this arrangement which was used by the French was very much safer than that used by our enemy bombers, for when a man had to start the time-fuse before throw- ing the bomb there were grave risks if the bomber should be shot before he had succeeded in throwing the bomb. In that case he would fall in his own trench and probably kill some of his companions, but if the French bomber was unfortunate enough to be shot while in the act of throwing the bomb, he would cause no danger to his friends, as the bomb in falling 96 HOW SHELLS WERE INVENTED into his own trench would reach the ground before the cord could pull out the friction tube, so that the time-fuse would not be set off.
