BODY OF AN AUTOMOBILE
The
main purpose of the body of an automobile is to provide accommodation for the
driver and passengers, with suitable protection against wind and weather. The
degree of comfort provided depends upon the type of vehicle and its cost.
The
body on the first automobile was little more than a platform with seats
attached. It gradually developed into a closed compartment complete with roof
and windows. The modern automobile body is made of sheet steel formed to the
required shape in a giant punch press. Most of the body components are welded
together to form a light rattle-free unit.
