       The specifications were drawn up by Professor H. Leroy
       Baumgartner of Yale University. Among the features will
       be adjustable crescendo and full organ.  There are 40
       adjustable combinations and six pedal combinations studs
       and three reversible toe studs controlling full organ
       expression. There will be an automatic cancel switch for
       all tremolos, percussion and vox humanas operated from
       the full organ key indicated and the first contact of
       the crescendo. Special stopkeys are provided for full 
       organ and piston cutouts affecting swell and pedal,
       great and pedal and choir and pedal. The crescendo indi-
       cator consists of a series of ten lights in one row,
       arranged in two groups of five each, adjustable to come
       on at any desired point in the crescendo.

       A specially-scaled Gemshorn in the Solo organ will be so
       arranged as to act as a processional stop and will sepa-
       rate expression through the ceiling above the choir or
       vestry room, which will enable the choir to establish
       the proper pitch as the processional begins.
