What reading level is The Science of Railways 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Question 18.— What is the necessity of keeping brasses keyed up properly?
Answer 18. — To prevent unnecessary shocks and heating of rod brasses and pounding in driving boxes, which in Ume cause undue strain on the entire engine with disastrous con- sequences.
Question 19.— How should the side rods on a mogul or consolidation locomotive be keyed?
Answer 19.— Place the engine on the dead center either forward or back. First key the middle connection, next the ends of rods and observe that the rod... moves freely on the pin. Now place the engine on the opposite dead center and notice if the rods move freely at this point also. This is particularly necessary with rod brasses having keys on both sides of the pin and which are apt to be made either too long or too short, throwing the rods out of tram and causing undue strain on rods and driving boxes, and also danger of broken rods or pins.
Question 20. — What is meant by "engine out of tram"*?
Answer 20. — By an engine out of tram is meant one whose distance from center to center of axle or rod on one side does not coincide with the similar distance on the opposite side; or it may mean that the distance between two connected crank pins is not the same as the distance between the two axles to which the crank pins belong.
