2004-10-30 - [Replaced Johnson 458 in 1938.The writer confeses to a part in the stoplist design, which represents a kind of thinking going on in those days where duplexing and unification could be done very reasonably. Not long after World War II the organ was moved into a new church building and placed in divided chambers. The instrument is historically important as containing the first example of what was to become Möller's regular remote control combination setter, as well as for the scaling and supervision of voicing by the late R. O. Whitelegg. /ds/ -Database Manager
