Wright Flyer - or - 1 in 2 won't go!

I was idly musing about the Wright Flyer today and thinking that the Wrights must be one of the few pilots who got a twin rating before a single. But thats not true, the Wright Flyer was an SEP.

Which got me thinking further - I can think of a few aircraft where two engines drive one prop,(Brabazon, Saro Princess), or even where two engines drive two props on a common shaft, (Gannet), but I can't think of another aircraft where one engine drives two props?

Any offers?
