What reading level is Electricity in Locomotion An Account of Its Mechanism Its Achievements And It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The preliminary negotiations with local authorities the 42 52 ELECTRICITY IN LOCOMOTION [OH.
interviews with mayors, aldermen, councillors, town clerks, and borough surveyors, to say nothing of the ' frontagers ' along the line of route usually occupied far more time than the actual construction of the tramways. They were also much more troublesome, since it was within the power of a single local authority in a central position to ' hold up ' a complete scheme, while most districts had strong l...ocal patriotism and wanted a municipal system to themselves. Very little is known by the general public of the anxiety, difficulty, and expense attending such negotiations with local bodies divided into parties or cliques and furnished with an absolute power of veto. Looking back on the history of electric traction, it really seems extraordinary that engineers and financiers had the patience to undertake this work and carry it through. Their reward, as will be seen, was not great in a pecuniary sense ; and, as regards reputation, they are generally accused of being extravagant, avaricious, and wanting in enterprise.
