That may be from an Ingersoll-Rand IR-2500, a 41 liter rotary engine.

Maybe an airplane? Curtiss-Wright manufactures (manufactured?) airplane engines. But they also made industrial engines, I think. Their website didn't mention the RC1-1920, but they did say that they held the US patent on the rotary for a while.
According to the German site, the IR-5000 was 2 rotors x 41 liters per rotor. Impressive, but a little less so if it doesn't move anything.
