Hi Ron, De Laval tended to use engines made by others.
usually Lauson but possibly others.
See http://www.old-engine.com/delaval.htm
also http://www.old-engine.com/alpha-vw.htm 
About 30 years ago I took a picture of an Alpha Laval engine in Denmark.

This could have been one of the Swedish Engines.
Does anyone know if they ever manufactured an engine or did they just "buy in" the 
power source from other manufacturers?
