NOTES
The organ is installed in divided chambers in each corner of the rear gallery – Great
on the right and Swell on the left. The Pedal has no independent registers. Expression
shutters face into both the nave and the gallery. The nave shutters will not operate
unless the Auditorium Expression tablet is pressed-on.
The console is in fixed position at the center of the gallery towards the gallery rail.
The organist faces the rear wall. It is a standard rolltop console with two rows of stop
keys above the top manual: top row for speaking stops; bottom row for intra-manual and
inter-divisional couplers. The finger pistons are placed a bit oddly with the SFZ. Piston
immediately to the left of the Sw. & Ped. divisional pistons – rather that at the extreme
right of the keyslip by itself as one would usually encounter.
The organ is fully prepared for additional stops. The chest bearers have additional space
for added windchests. The relay is already wired into itself for additions. And the en-
graved stop keys are present and work on the combination action. All that is required is
to install and wind chests amd pipes, and connect them to their respective relay junctions.
The organ was shipped from the Wicks factory in October of 1949.
