Crossheads were very common on LARGE Diesels since the 1930's. Even some
smaller ones had them. A few were also 'double acting' just like a steam
engine.

The most dramatic difference compared to smaller diesels is the cross
head.

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
