Abstract: A drive system for a vehicle (V) provided with a power plant (P) which includes an engine (1), a transmission (3) and a differential device (D). The engine is located longitudinally of the vehicle with the crankshaft extending front-to-rear of the vehicle. The power plant drives left and right drive wheels disposed on opposite sides of the engine. The engine has a cylinder axis (L.sub.1 --L.sub.1) inclined to the left or right of the vehicle and includes a cylinder block (6) and an oil pan (13) between which is interposed a lower case (9). The cylinder block and the lower case are joined together at joining surfaces thereof on a plane which extends through the center (O) of the journal bearings (10) for the crankshaft as well as perpendicular to the cylinder axis. The differential case (17) is connected to the lower side face of the engine on the side of inclination of the engine.

Abstract: A toner for use in electrophotography comprising thermoplastic resin core particles (A) or colorant-embedded thermoplastic resin core particles (A') each having an average particale size of 1 to 15 .mu.m, a charge-controlling agent (B) and carrier particles (C) having an average particle size of 0.05 to 2.0 .mu.m, the charge-controlling agnet (B) being carried on the carrier particles (C), and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon being embedded in the surfaces of the resin core particles (A) or the colorant-embedded resin core particles (A').

Abstract: A crankshaft supporting structure in a multicylinder internal combustion engine has a cylinder block made of a light alloy and including a cylinder housing and a crankcase having a plurality of spaced journal walls. A plurality of spaced bearing caps made of an iron alloy are coupled respectively to the journal walls. A crankshaft is rotatably supported in bearing holes defined by the journal walls and the bearing caps. A bridge made of a light alloy extends across the bearing caps and is coupled to the bearing caps. The bearing caps and the bridge are fastened together to the journal walls by connecting bolts disposed one on each side of the crankshaft. The bridge has a main portion defining a main gallery extending longitudinally therethrough and a plurality of legs coupled to the bearing caps, respectively. The bearing caps and the legs jointly define branch oil passages communicating with the main gallery and the bearing holes.
