Can anyone ID this engine?

What you have in the picture, seems to be a French Lorraine 12 Ed
aircraft
engine, circa year 1922. It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes,
60+60=120 degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder
configuration,
it's a 12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry
weight 425 kg. Power output 450 hp.
Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine.

Thanks for the link!
About the web page:
When you click on "Aircraft Engines" to see more engines - that link
doesn't
work.
Simply turn the capital "E", in the web address, into a lower case "e" for
the "Aircraft Engines" link on the Lorraine page to work. (IE 6.0 and
Firefox/Mozilla)

Thanks Monty. Looks like I'm not the only one who does that.
Got a short giggle at the Allison 1710 - in metric???
