2019-10-23/2019-10-23 - From Organ Database Builders editor Stephen Hall, October 22, 2019. — Excerpt from Eugene M. McCracken's article on John C. B. Standbridge in The Tracker: In 1868 J . C. B. Standbridge rebuilt the three manual H. F. Berger 0rgan in St. Augustine's R. C. Church. In effect, it was an enlargement of the existing insstrument; for he only added a Solo division, and a few ranks to the other already existing divisions of the old organ. The installation of this Solo division was a pioneer work for which Standbridge is seldom given credit. It was the first installation in America of electric action on a pipe organ. The action was built by Messrs. Chester Patrick & Son of South Fourth Street, and was battery operated. Source: Eugene M.
