What reading level is The Early History of the Airplane book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We immediately putthem in the machine and made another test. A new trouble developed. Thesprockets which were screwed on the shafts, and locked with nuts ofopposite thread, persisted in coming loose. After many futile attemptsto get them fast, we had to give it up for that day, and went to bedmuch discouraged. However, after a night's rest, we got up the nextmorning in better spirits and resolved to try again.
While in the bicycle business we had become well acquainted with the useof hard tire ...cement for fastening tires on the rims. We had once used itsuccessfully in repairing a stop watch after several watchsmiths hadtold us it could not be repaired. If tire cement was good for fasteningthe hands on a stop watch, why should it not be good for fastening thesprockets on the propeller shaft of a flying machine? We decided to tryit. We heated the shafts and sprockets, melted cement into the threads, and screwed them together again. This trouble was over. The sprocketsstayed fast.
Just as the machine was ready for test bad weather set in.
