Abstract
A cargo container formed of extruded light metal framing members and cooperating panels is made in subassemblies composed of parts which are secured together primarily by riveting, the subassemblies also being secured to one another primarily by riveting, although certain key fastenings are made by welding, and parts are limitedly telescopable prior to welding, to accommodate variations resulting from manufacturing tolerances. Fastening means for securing cargo within the container, and for securing the container against displacement in a vehicle during transportation, are integrated with rigid framing elements.
