NOTES
The exact nomenclature of stops and controls is not verified. This stop-
list  was taken from the files of Balcom & Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc. of
Seattle, who bid on building a new instrument utilizing some of the
Guenther organ.

The disposition of the Guenther when it was replaced with the Wilhelm
tracker is not known.
