What reading level is Instructions for Use of the Rain Gauge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TO MEASURE RAINFALL AND SNOWFALL. BAINFALL.
4. The rain-gauge measuring stick is graduated into inches and tenths of inches. Remembering that the actual depth of the rainfall is magnified ten times, as explained above, it is plain that if we find the water 10 inches deep in the measuring tube, then the real rainfall must have been only one inch deep, or, if the water in the tube is only one- tenth inch (or written as a decimal . 1 inch) deep, then the rainfall must have been only one one-hundre...dth inch (or written as a decimal . 01 inch).
5. To save observers the trouble of always thinking about the mag- nification, and to avoid possible errors in reports, the numbers on the graduation of the measuring sticks are not actual inches, but in the latest pattern of measuring sticks have all been divided by 10, and thus represent the actual rainfall. Moreover, these numbers are expressed in hundredths of inches of rainfall, and are written as decimal fractions. Thus the ten-inch line is numbered 1.
