I had one of those grinders in the 70s. I bought it from a closing Chevrolet dealer. The one I had a head similar to a drill press. Instead of a drill table, it had rollers. The grinding rock was on one side of the journal, the rollers touched the other, It had an attachment that was placed under the rear wheels of the car/truck. You put the auto in gear, the attachment turned the crankshaft by way of the powertrain. The machine head was narrow and it bobbed up and down on the throws. The dealer said that with the increased popularity of automatics, combined with the need for a better engine repair, they quit usuing theirs in the 60s.
