The B&W Alpha marine diesel was a two-stroke valveless engine designed for relatively small ships such as fishing vessels and tugs.

There is a 1959.pdf history of the B&W company published in 1959 (25 MB PDF) which has color photos of B&W diesels and a few paragraphs on the B&W Alpha engine (pp. 10, 37).
