Wauk built engines for practically everything, except I've not found any in cars. In the early years, up to the depression, most of the makes of cars and trucks were "assembled", and Wauks were in trucks, tractors, farm,const and ind'l equip, RR stuff etc up thru the years (I don't recall any aircraft engines) as well as massive ind'l and oilfield power units running on Nat'l and sewer gas (much lower power on sewer gas). Marine I'm not familiar with but I have an April 1942 issue of Diesel Power ("Diesel Eng Spec Issue") that lists marine engines up to 8cyl 191/2x28 (168,000 lbs, 240 RPM) and Wauk only lists Wauk-Hesselmans (diesel inj, sparkplug ign) marine units to 6cyl 81/2x81/2, but they may well have built larger.
I have a manual for a 7040ci V12 oilfield power unit that uses an FC, the 4-cyl tractor etc engine, for a starter motor. Lots of Wauks still going down the road and working the fields.
It's said when Dresser took them over they quit the "small" engine business, and are no help on obsolete parts.
