To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This bar was set in vibration and the points closed until the friction between them would cause the vibration to cease. Then the pivots were drawn back, the beam set in vibration and the points returned to within one millionth WORKS ADMINIH TRA T10N. of an inch of their former position and the beam again set in vibra- tion, which would continue until the points were advanced a millionth part of an inch when the friction would arrest vibration. The machine is in the Kensington Museum, at London,... and is no doubt capable of the same demonstration now. The purpose of the machine is to show that surfaces can be so accurately fitted as to not move in stages when such minute adjustment is made. The standard machine at the American Standard Gauge Works, that weighs about 000 pounds, and has a range of six inches, is fully sensitive to the fifty thousandth part of an inch, as was demonstrated before the Franklin Institute in 1879, where I read a paper on the subject of standard measures, illustrated by various implements and machines supplied from the gauge works in Phila- delphia.
