Seat Belts: the Development of An Essential Safety Feature
David C. Viano, July 2003, 970 Pages, 68 Papers, Hardbound
$150.00

Thanks to decades of research, development and legislation, the seat belt has become as critical to the automobile as the engine. This collection highlights the progression of these essential safety features, providing a complete and thorough perspective through the analysis of both early patents and recent seat belt developments.

Contents include:

  • Seat Belt Systems and Performance
  • System Enhancements/Features
  • Seat Belt Restraint Issues
  • Alternatives to Manual, Body Mounted 3 Pt. Belts
  • Rear Occupants and Children
