Round radiators , round II (Update I)

Update by Fons Alkemade:"I think the list of round radiator cars still is far from complete. For example from Holland we can add Eysink and Simplex and from France Le Giu (or Guy). Furthermore I suspect the radiator shown possibly came from some kind of agricultural device, not from a car."
EARLIER: Hans Compter found this very early Moreux radiator of unknown vintage at the island Nouvelle Calédonie (mediasgaia.com) in 1984. Maybe due to that find round radiators became one of his uncountable specialisms. Triggered by "What is it? # 122 " (a Dux) he coughed up a list of no less than 50 (!) cars who carried more or less round radiators. We let Hans Compter do the talking here: " The "can of worms" enters the equation when you try to define what exactly a round radiator is.....? I think it all depends of whether the car's designer or stylist used a compass or drew the radiator by hand. And then there is the issue of the perfectly round inner surround but not so perfectly round outer surround. Not to mention the desire of the stylist to show individuality and/or originality and/or exclusivity. All of that resulting in ovalish round, roundish oval, squashed round, flat ovalish round and squeezed-up rounded-off oval radiators....
