NOTES
The Flemish Bells are Schulmerich Electronic Bells, and were added after
the organ was installed, and by someone other than Balcom & Vaughan.

The Swell 1-1/3' Larigot is a 12-pipe extension of the 2-2/3' Nasat.  The
top 8 notes/pipes break back to 2-2/3' pitch. The Pedal II Mixture has
an independent 1-1/3' component plus an additional 12-pipe extension on
the Pedal 8' Principal / 4' Choral Bass unit.
