What reading level is How Common Things Are Made book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When a very large block is to be removed, the quarrymen make use of the crane for splitting the block, as well as for lifting it away. The holes are made as before, but long crow-bars are placed in them in place of the short steel wedges. When the crow- bars have been driven well into the rock, and are firmly embedded in it, the chain of the crane is fastened to one of them, and two men, turning the windlass, wind up the chain, and pull the block away from the rock. Though the rock looks so sol...id, there are always slight flaws in it, and little by little it splits along those nearest the crow- bars, as the quarrymen pull with the chain of the crane, first at one crow-bar and then at another.
When the blocks are lowered to the bottom of the quarry, they are split into their proper sizes by other workmen, who make holes in them and drive wedges into them in exactly the same way. But as the stones become smaller, smaller wedges are used, and the blocks split more quickly. Many are cut square, like large bricks, and How BUILDING-STONES ARE MADE.
