Noun[edit]
bodyside (plural bodysides)
- The side of the body of a motor car (or other vehicle).
- 1960 April, “Restaurant cars and multiple-units”, in Trains Illustrated, page 222:
- There are no bodyside parcels racks, but a slatted shelf is provided at the base of each chair, under the seat, for light articles such as brief cases or handbags. The tables are supported on a single metal leg of pleasing style on the inside and on two bodyside supports.
- 1979 August, Graham Burtenshaw, Michael S. Welch, “O.V.S. Bulleid's SR loco-hauled coaches - 1”, in Railway World, page 395:
- Although exhibiting some typical Bulleid design features — the continuous curve of the bodyside and the toplights above the door droplights being particularly characteristic — the interior of the vehicles owed much to Maunsell era practice.
