Abstract: A novel electrophotographic photoreceptor and a method of preparation therof are disclosed. The photoreceptor is characterized in that the photosensitive layer contain a specific carbonate resin binder resin having a weight average molecular weight on not less than 200,000. The resin is preferably a polycarbonate resin which contains repeating units represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a halogen atom or an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group; and R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group, or form a ring or a carbonyl group together with the linking carbon atom.

Abstract: A method of rotating and transferring hollow cylindrical workpieces without causing the outer surfaces of such workpieces to come into contact with each other and a non-contact method of coating hollow cylindrical workpieces which are rotated and transferred, characterized in that flanges having bores in the central portions thereof are fitted over both end portions of each hollow cylindrical workpiece, a shaft being inserted through the bores in these flanges and supported horizontally together with the workpiece at each end on and rotated by a plurality of paired vertically movable rollers which are spaced by a distance not shorter than the length of the workpiece, a pusher for moving the workpiece being provided on a shaft, a coating mechanism being provided at an intermediate portion of the shaft in order to coat the workpiece with a material, a plurality of flanged workpieces being moved by the pusher toward a discharge end of the shaft and removed therefrom in order.
