NOTES
The Great II Mixture is made from the 8' Diapason and 4' Octave with
extensions.

The Pedal 32' Resultant F is derived from the Great/Pedal 16' Diapason
unit and the Swell 16' Gedeckt unit. The Pedal 32' Resultant P is entirely
derived from the Swell 16' Gedeckt.

The organ also has a Keymatic Transposer which will raise or lower the
pitch by six half steps.

The organ was sold to Rockwood Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1978.
