Abstract
Abstract A power transmission apparatus of the type having a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and an intermediate driving shaft to be driven by the crankshaft. Input and output shafts of a gear transmission to be driven by the driving shaft are so provided in an outer surrounding machine casing as to be arranged in parallel rows to one another. The four shafts are positioned, at their axial lines, in a common plane, and the machine casing is so constructed as to be divisible at that plane into upper and lower half portions.
