What kind of machine?
Anyhow, also fearing the furious mail-daemons, I post here what I got on
an AT&T 3B20S (SysVr2):

 Type   Bits   Sizeof   Format
 Char      8        1    unsign
Short     16        2    2's c.
  Int     32        4    2's c.
 Long     32        4    2's c.

Position   0  1  2  3
    Char   1
   Short   2  1
     Int   4  3  2  1
    Long   4  3  2  1

Int == Long
