NOTES
The organ was originally designed for a shool on Illinois, but was never instal-
led there. This is its original home.
All of the metal pipework except for the zinc basses is of spotted metal.
The Great 8' Open Diapason has pipes 1-17 en facade; and the Great 4' Octave
has 5 pipes en facade. The first 17 pipes of the Great 8' Melodia are stopped.
The Great 4' Flute has a stopped wood bottom octave, but then becomes an ear-
tuned rohr flute to c2, nd open metal trebes for the remainder. The Great III
Mixture is composed:
1 - 24 15 - 19 - 22
25 - 42 12 - 15 - 19
43 - 61 8 - 12 - 15
The Swell 8' flues all have stopped wood basses. The 8' Stopped Diapason
becomes a rohr flute above tenor C with open metal trebles for the top octave.
The 2' Piccolo is actually a small Fifteenth.
