SLAMMING DOORS.
There can be no doubt Vint that a deal of the damage and dilapidation suffered by ear bodies is due to the slamming of the doors. This shock to the whole frame construction of the body has its effect in loosening of joints and panelling and starting those squeaks arid rattles which indicate a body whose members arc not sufficiently in rigid attachment with each other.
