What reading level is Fly Wheels book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
40 FLY-WHEELS wishes, and entirely on their own responsibility, made the fly-wheel with a hub solid with the arms and rim. One evening, during the run, a report like a gunshot was heard and the observers noticed that the fly-wheel was running out of true. The rim of the wheel was just warm, about as warm as one's hand. The engine was stopped and they found three of the arms out and six broken. The middle one was open about 3/32 of an inch. There must therefore have been an enormous initial stre...ss in the arms. There were two fly-wheels on the engines and the makers were told that they must replace both. They said they would replace the broken one with a new one having a split boss and cut the boss of the other wheel in two. They were warned as to what would happen, but they put the wheel in a slotting machine, and before they had cut half way through one side of the boss, the stresses of the wheel completed the job in a manner aston- ishing to the man running the slotter.
Great care must be taken regarding test specimens, as a test speci- men cast from the same melting as the wheel does not necessarily indicate the same strength as that in the wheel.
