"There are twelve thumb piston couplers placed between the
keyboards. There are four Mechanical Accessories, viz.: Tremolo
to Swell Organ, Bellows Signal, Motor, Wind Indicator. There are
eight Pedal Movements operating on the Manuals and Pedals, and
also a Balanced Swell Pedal.
"One very important and unique feature of this organ is that
there are no trackers in the whole instrument, it being built
with the Harrison Tubular Pneumatic Action which renders the
touch as light as that of a piano. There is none of the rattling
noise so notable in an organ built with tracker action, and,
although the console is reversed and the distance from the keys
to the windchests is not less than twenty-five feet, the response
is wonderfully prompt and the repetition as quick as could be
wished. The voicing of the various registers is particularly fine
and characteristic, and was done under Mr. Harrison's personal
supervision. The two bellows are very satisfactorily blown by a
Nash gas engine. The organ and motor complete are a gift from two
little girls, daughters of a member of the congregation."
--from "The Churchman" (January 30, 1892)
