What reading level is The Story of Locomotion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The lines were in many cases carried across country, regardless of travelled highways, over tracts of sand and swamp, and through the wild primeval wilderness. "Away it stretches the metallic indicator of in- tellectual supremacy, traversing regions haunted by the rattlesnake and the alligator solitudes that re-echo with nocturnal bowlings of the wolf and bear. " Rapid communication was thus made possible from North to South, East and West, through all the length and breadth of the Republic wit...h a frequency and cheapness long exceeding any other nation. This superiority has, since the establishment of sixpenny telegrams, been transferred to the United Kingdom.
And now we come to telegraphing without wires. It was conjectured by Faraday, Helm- holt^ and others that light from the sun and electricity were of the same order, only differing in degree, i. E. In the lengths of their respective waves. Their velocity through space was the same, namely 186, 400 miles a second. Light waves, heat waves and electric waves in travelling from the sun to the earth a distance so great that an express train travelling sixty miles an hour would take 175 years to accomplish it reach our earth in eight minutes.
