STRUCTURES OF BODIES AND FITTINGS
STRUCTURES DES CAISSES ET AMENAGEMENTS
The main problems concerning the bodies for the high speed trains were: the design of the articulation of these bodies, the actual construction of the bodies, streamlining, comfort provided passengers and consequently the design of interior fittings and amenities. The authors explain the solutions adopted in these different areas for the bodywork of the end car, intermediate cars and the power car. With special reference to the accommodation provided for passengers, inquiries and opinion polls were carried out and a full scale mock-up placed on public display.
