What reading level is Applications of the Science of Mechanics to Practical Purposes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In order to extend the advantages of two-wheeled carriages, horses have been occasionally so trained that a single driver can manage five or six carts. This is done by the farmers of Scotland, who boast much of the superiority of this method, and of the good construction of their carts. The cart used in the city of New-York is, however, fully equal to that of the Scotch agriculturists, and is superior in most respects to the drays used in Philadelphia and Balti- more, and to the trucks of the e...astern cities.
Carts are also advantageously used when the drivers can be employed in loading them, as, for in- stance, in removing earth for regulating streets, and in excavation and embankment for railroads and ca- nals. The facility with which they are unloaded also gives them great advantages in such cases.
155. In applying more than a single horse to draught, they ought to be harnessed in pairs, and not tandem. In the latter case, the wheel-horse is ex- posed to much additional fatigue. When harnessed abreast, no more than two can be conveniently thus placed, as the inner horses will be distressed by the pressure of the others.
