What reading level is The Work of the Coast And Geodetic Survey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" Having decided where a line is to begin, the boat is moved to that point. Two observers, with sextant in hand, the recorder, witli a watch or clock and record book, and the leadsman, with his "lead line, " take their respective positions. The officer in charge directs the recorder to make a note, say, as follows: "Line begins at angle / 1, about 20 meters from shore, south of Fleck's Point; course about east. " The observers measure the angles between three signals on shore and read the angle...s measured; the leadsman gets a cast of the lead and calls out the number of feet or fathoms, and the recorder records all these, with the time when the boat begins to move. The boat starts ahead and does not stop again until the end of the line is reached. Other j^airs of angles are taken by the observers at three or four minute intervals, or as frequently as necessary, each set of angles locating the position of the boat at the instant of observation. At the end of the line a final set is taken.
