11、94.)Subcommittee 32 of the ASME Standards Committee Y14,Engineering Drawing and Re-lated Documentation Practices,was organized in 1968.The work of the Subcommittee re-sulted in the publication of the predecessor to this Standard,ANSI Y14.32.1-1974.During the ensuing years,the Y 14 Committee,reacting
12、 to the increasing acceptance of the SI metric system in the United States,began to systematically update its existing standards to accom-modate metric practices.Since Y 14 drafting practices in most cases are dimensionally insen-sitive,the majority of the metrication effort involved redrawing examp
13、les using metric units.ANSI Y14.32.1 was withdrawn as an American National Standard in 1987,at which time work on this Standard began.The vehicle chassis frame is typically an inseparable assembly of stamped or formed sheet metal structural members which support and locate the vehicle body,front she

16、 systems,tires,brake lines,fuel lines,and bumpers.In addition to referencing metric(SI)units,this Standard includes the definition of some key terms which are generally accepted in the industries producing ground vehicles.Refer-ences are made specifically to automobiles,vans,and trucks where such distinctions are nec-essary.References to vehicles are inclusive of all types,as the concepts are generic.References to rear suspensions are more general than in the previous standard.Since 1974,the num
