Rod-style brake levers.

Has anyone made brake levers like those on rod-brake bikes, except for normal rim brakes?
Basically, I mean one brake lever that extends to each end of he handlebar, or at minimum two brake levers that operate one brake.

Some bikes fron The Netherlands use identicle looking levers that work a cable crank. The only reason rod brake bikes have them, of course, is because they actuate the with cam that pulls on the rod. I have several Raleighs like this. They look great.

Thanks for the help, I was thinking of putting it on a bike with a coaster brake, I don't really like only have that, and the look and function of the rod brake levers would match perfectly.
