What reading level is The Panama Canal Illustrated By Color Photography From the Original Autochrome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The parts of the locks that most strongly kindle the imagination are the great steel gates. There are ninety-two of these gates, or forty-six pairs, half of them at Gatun, the other half at Pedro Miguel and Miraflores. The construction and operation of them all are identically the same. * These gates were made in the United States and were shipped to the canal in sections and parts of sections. The greater task of erection was left to the workmen sent by the contractors to the Isthmus for this ...pur- pose.
The average time required to fill or empty a lock, thus raising or lowering the boat, as the case may be, is fifteen minutes.
The time required to pass a vessel through all the locks, is estimated at three hours, one hour and a half at Gatun, and about the same length of time in the three locks on the Pacific side, the one at Pedro Miguel and the two at Miraflores.
The time of passage of a vessel through the entire Canal, is estimated at from 10 to 12 hours, according to the size of the ship and the rate of speed she can travel.
