Crossheads were very common on LARGE Diesels since the 1930's. Even some

The most dramatic difference compared to smaller diesels is the cross

Yep, a feature that is uncommon except for in double acting steam engines.
Great idea to minimize wear, likely to prolong the useful life of the engine
threefold.
