NOTES
The organ is installed in the rear gallery. The Pedal ranks and the Great IV Fourniture
are on the central axis and are free-standing. The balance of the Great is on two canti-
levered chests at the sides of the rear gallery. The Swell is enclosed on the left side
behind the cantilevered Great.

The couplers, finger pistons, toe studs, and pedal movements are not verified. The speci-
fication was copied from a 33 LP produced by the builder entitled, The Church Pipe Organ:
Two Manual, Volume One.

A picture of the instrument on the cover of the album provided some of the information
presented here. The number of manuals, ranks, pipes, and the stoplist were provided on
the back of the record jacket.
