What reading level is A Story of Railway Pioneers Being An Account of the Inventions And Works of Isa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This engine, known some years afterwards as the ' Old Cutler, ' was a six- wheeled engine with a single driving wheel of the 2-2-2 type. Its boiler had the haystack firebox then in vogue, and was attached to the frames in a manner peculiar to this engineer's designs, i. E. Fastened down at the smokebox end only, but at the firebox end being allowed to expand or contract freely according to the varying tem- perature ; a small plate or bracket bolted to the frame preventing any vertical movement ...of the boiler. The usual horsehair buffers were dispensed with, and an entirely new method was employed ; for the first time in the history of locomotive construction, spring side-buffers were given a trial, and the resulting economies in repair and upkeep of engines so justified the designer's contentions that the practice became general. Although only a small engine, the ' Old Cutler ' did wonderful service for over twenty-five years, costing very little in repairs throughout her career, and it was not until the year 1875 that she was taken off the road and scrapped.
