Present status of body/frame and unitized monocoque and integral frame structures; evaluation of relative merits of each; predominant factor that influences choice of construction is obsolescence of facilities and requirement for new equipment; magnitude of problem is shown by studying requirements for switching Ford car produced in plants equipped to build body/frame cars; present applications of unitized construction and predictions as to future usage.
