What reading level is A Lecture On the Dry Rot And On the Most Effectual Meas of Preventing It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
REMARKS. All the Deals broke short, the Pines went suddenly; the Kernels more slowly. The Prepared, in both instances, bore \ cwt. More than the Unprepared.
The Prepared Ash did not break; its elasticity was so great that it reached the ground, and would otherwise have slipped between the bearings. It had then a load of 27 cwt. The unprepared was not tried, as there was nothing to institute a comparison.
On a consideration of the experiments now made, I think it may fairly be inferred that the ...preparation makes no change in the strength of the wood, at least in the direction which has been tried. The greatest difference (the Oak) was only 4 per cent. , which would probably be found to exist between any two pieces that might be experimented upon, however similar the circumstances might be.
(Signed) JAMES EASTON, May 29th, 1837. Engineer.
With regard to the second point, there seems no sufficient reason to expect that the elasticity of wood should be lessened, for this process does not remove any of that water which is of necessity a component element in organized matter, (and the presence of a certain quantity of which is necessary to the exercise of the property of elasticity, ) but merely solidifies the albumen, and renders it incapable of being acted upon by the water, still present, but now harmless.
