What reading level is The Railway Locomotive What It is And Why It is What It is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are intended to diffuse the " pull " of the exhaust and equalise the draught among the tubes.
In all cases a " blower " is fitted, which usually takes the form of a ring round the top of the exhaust pipe, which is perforated with a number of small holes. Through ohese, by opening a cock in the cab, steam can be blown up the chimney to create a draught when the engine is standing. The blower is used when getting up steam ; in stations to prevent smoke ; and is always turned on just before ...steam is shut off to prevent flames coming out through the fire door, by which the men on the footplate would be burned. Indeed, men have been killed in this way.
Until a recent period, the chimney was always a pipe of some length, as much, for example, as 5 feet, and it was wholly outside the smoke-box. But of late years huge engines have been built with boilers of great diameter, and the limits of height in tunnels and under bridges have reduced the apparent length of the chimney until it has been defined as " a frill round a hole in the top of the smoke-box " ; in such cases the chimney extends down some distance into the smoke-box.
