It does not just consider the car chassis and the suspension but all the other elements such as brakes, engines and gearboxes, wiring or cooling; where radiators and oil-coolers go and how are they plumbed to the engine.

This leads on to worked examples of the calculations. For the general reader they may be of little or passing interest but for a designer would have been essential reading hence they are in the appendices.
Checklists and Worked Calculations for Car Chassis and Suspension Design

The plant is called the designers have all the calculations and material strength necessary to ensure the structure and suspension. Just understand algebra and trigonometry, as the basis for many successful C cars by 1960 and 70 have been constructed with the help of his book. Naturally, everyone in Imperial measurements (pounds, feet, centimeters), but the principles apply when using the metric system.
