The brothers Louis and Emile Mors, made automobiles since 1896 and in 1909 they built their only aviation engine, a water-cooled 4V.

-It was presented at the Paris Air Show in 1909. The explosions occurred separately every 180 degrees.

From Appendix 12: Line Drawings of the Mors Air-Cooled V4 Engine.

We found them in an aeronautical publication without specifying on which machine it was installed.
