To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
126 INCIDENTS OF EXPLOSIONS THE CROSS-LANE MANCHESTER EXPLOSION.
After recounting the incidents of this case of arti- ficial explosion, I shall now proceed to describe some of the cases of real explosion which have occurred in practice. One of these cases is that of an explosion which took place several years ago, by the bursting of a small cylindrical boiler, of about three feet in dia- meter, used for the purpose of working a six-horse non-condensing engine, at a pressure of 60 Ibs. Per squar...e inch. It had two safety valves, each of about a square inch area, and both were stated to be in full action at the time the explosion took place, having commenced blowing off steam a few minutes before.
The result of this explosion was, that the wrought- iron end of the boiler next to the furnace was torn away, principally by splitting the angle iron, which was barely f of an inch thick, and thrown more than 20 yards off, carrying the fireman six or seven yards of that distance, who, together with another man, was killed on the spot.
