2015-11-12 - Contract (Feb. 17, 1959) for Opus 2543 was to supply a new three-manual console for the existing specification of Opus 1279 (1928) including a number of blank draw knobs listed in specific positions in the four divisions clearly suggesting the anticipated prepared stops. The contract also included two new electro-pneumatic expression motors for the Swell and Choir divisions. The reed stops were returned to Casavant Frères for repair and revoicing.
