Talk:Body Frame Integral

What's the difference? & Merge proposal

Is there any difference between 'Body Frame Integral' and Monocoque? If not, I suggest an abbreviated 'Automobile' section in the Monocoque article, and expand this one with detail specific to the automobile industry.--Lester 01:46, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering the same thing. I think we should merge this page to monocoque. Same concept, and that article is not unwieldy at its current size. If it does get too big, it should be split into maybe "History" articles or something. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 17:44, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MergeI agree, tho to be fair I've never heard the abbreviations BFI or BOF used, and I've worked on both and in the acronym laden auto industry for 31 years. I'd have called them unibody or unitary and body on frame. So pick the good bits out of this and redirect to the unitary body part of monocoque, i reckon. DragonHawk, nice job on monocoque.

I'm not an expert but the proposal looks sensible to me.ChristopherFraser (talk) 23:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done Didn't seem like there was any reason not to, so I went ahead with this. Upon examination, there really wasn't anything said here that wasn't already said in monocoque. Different presentation, perhaps, but I think it's all there. So I just replaced it with a redirect. If anyone sees anything that doesn't get adequate coverage at monocoque, please add it there. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 19:53, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
