Yes, this metal film developing tank used the telegraph code CORDO.  It was short lived.  The earliest reference I have is

November 1929. The price lists from April and September 1929 still list the FIMAN glass cylinder and not the CORDO metal tank.

Interestingly, it seems E. Leitz New York introduced a tank developing option, called "REELO" in mid-July 1929 perhaps preceeding the Correx (CORDO) system.

By January 1931 Leitz had moved to the bakelite(or Tenacit) tanks, code CORFI.  The short production time, the propensity to corrode after the nickle finish wore off, make this a fairly hard to find Leitz item today.  Regards, any new information or corrections always appreciated.
