Liquid cooled radials

Sorry to be picking brains again but does anyone know of any manufacturer other than Salmson that manufactured liquid cooled radials. I’m sure I’ve heard of at least one other but can’t remember who it was.

The Hydra was an oddity in that it had eight cylinders per row, but as far as I remember from my far-off days at Filton it was air cooled.

I’m sure RRHT (Bristol) have a Bristol liquid-cooled radial on display – it may be the Hydra from c.1933 – based on the Jupiter???
