To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Early in the war, as the armies began "to dig themselves in," French engineers looked about for labor-saving devices for trench- digging. The problem presented was unpre- cedented. Thousands of miles of trenches had to be dug; and time was priceless. If the work were done by hand, as in the early stages of the war, a great force of soldiers must be thus employed who were badly needed for fighting. It was at length de- 83 THE FIGHTING ENGINEERS cided to intrust the problem to American in- genuit...y.
Thereupon several manufacturers of ma- chinery in the United States were invited to study the problem and devise a new type of ditch-digger, suitable for military work.
The trench-digger constructed in America and rushed to the front proved to be one of the most dependable engines of the Great War, and it has released many thousands of soldiers for more active service.
The operation of this trench-digger is as follows: Upon the heavy motor-truck chas- sis, so familiar in the United States, is mounted an ingenious bucket-excavator of the continuous-belt type.
