What reading level is Locomotive Sparks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Johnstone of the Mexican Central in writing to Mr. Bell of this front-end says: "You will see that we are using the master mechanics* standard nozzle and petticoat arrangement, with what we call the Mexican Central standard deflecting-plate and netting arrangement. This gives a clear opening between the bottom of the netting and the top of the deflecting-plate of 17 inches. " To this Mr. Bell adds that "present practice in front-ends is plainly marked in the abandonment of the long-extended... smoke-box by the Pennsylvania railroad in its latest and most approved designs of locomotives, for both fast passenger and heavy freight service. Figs. 30 and 3 1 show the front-end arrangement of the large H 5 and H 6 consolidation engines, recently built by that company, and the same design, in all substantial particulars, is used on their latest construction of high-speed passenger engines. " 4 ' In view of the fact that this front is doubtless practically self-cleaning, and of the comparatively large diameter of the smoke-box, it may be suggested that it could, with advantage and without sacrificing any netting area, be further shortened, as, say, 10 inches or thereabouts.
