What reading level is An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of Spinning Tops And Gyroscopic Motion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

-xxi. Is due to the action of the external torque which causes the axle to precess, but there still remain one or two points worthy of remark in connection with the scientific gyroscope of Fig. Xxii. It was mentioned that if, while the gyroscope is spinning with the weight attached at X, the screw at Z be tightened, then the gyroscope at once turns about Y'Y. It is interesting to note that the direct cause of this turning is not the 'inoment of the weight about Y'Y. The moment of this weight te...nds to set up precession about ZZ', but since the screw at ^ is tight, and consequently the frame containing Y'Y is fixed, the pivots at Y and Y' meet with resistance forming a left-handed couple about ZZ, and, as in the case of the gyroscopic top, it is this resisting couple about ZZ which turns the gyroscope about Y'Y in accordance with the law of precession. Similarly, referring to Fig. XXIII. , it is this resisting couple about a vertical axis which causes the gyroscope to set itself with its axis vertical, and this couple reversed which brings about the somersault.
