What is this Cord engine transmission setup?

Any photos of the interior?
Is it shifted via the Cord column-mounted shifter?
Is it still being driven?
Also, I see the battery is now under the hood.

I posted this picture hoping some of the well informed Cord guys may have more information than just my picture. It appears someone designed some very interesting engine trans water pump modifications besides the re location of the batter. BTW I certainly would never place a battery that close to the hot engine. I learned something about batteries many years ago. An owner of a Dodge pickup truck kept boiling out his single battery. After much investigation and parts change out like alternator... turns out the battery ground was connected directly to the exhaust manifold bolt. So the copper ground wire transferred heat enough to boil battery acid....

This Cord appears to have an automatic trans by the exposed flywheel. The water pump has been moved towards the radiator and the generator has been re-positioned to the radiator end too.
