What reading level is A Treatise On Masonry Construction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Broken Range. Masonry in which a course is not continuous throughout — see Fig. 70.
Random. Masonry which is not laid in courses at all — see Fig.
71. Random masonry is sometimes designated as one-against-two or two-against-three, the first term indicating that there is one stone on one side of a vertical joint and two on the other, and similarly for the second term.
Any one of these three terms may be employed to designate the coursing of either ashlar (§ 551) or square-stone masonry (§ 552),
...but can not be applied to rubble (§ 553).
661. Classification According to Thickness of Joints. Ashlar. Cut- stone masonry, or masonry composed of any of the various kinds r— v- r-r--T ? F 1 a: ^ □ Fig. 69. — Range. Fig. 70. — Broken Range. Fig. 71. — Random.
of cut-stone mentioned in § 545-46. According to the Report of the Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers, "when the dressing of the joints is such that the distance between the general planes of the surfaces of adjoining stones is one half inch or less, the masonry belongs to this class." From its derivation ashlar apparently means large, square blocks; but practice seems to have made it synonymous with "cut-stone," and this secondary meaning has been retained for convenience.
