NOTES
The original ca. 1910 Kimball operated by means of tubular-pneumatic key and stop
action to ventil windchests. It was a chambered installation with 23 stencilled
facade pipes from the Great 8' Open Diapason.
The 1950 work by Balcom and Vaughan was the electrification of the Kimball chest
primaries and stop actions; and the replacement of the original keydesk with an
A.G.O. standard console. The Pedal 16' Bourdon was also extended by two notes.
The preceding information was taken from the extant console and chests after they
were removed to the Balcom and Vaughan shop in early January 1992 in preparation
for Balcom and Vaughan to build a new organ retaining the console shell, manuals,
and pedalboard; and retaining some of the original Kimball pipework.
