From The New Music Review and The Church Music Review, Vol. 4, No. 39 [February 1905]"
"A three manual organ is provided in the plans for the new building of the North Presbyterian Church of New York City. The organ will be on the left of the pulpit plaftorm, and the case will be reproduced on the other side for symmetry. The console is detached for the better control of the choir by the organist. There are 32 speaking stops and all the usual accessories of a modern organ.
"The organ has tubular exhuast pneumatic action throughout, with separate stop chests, operated by the Haskell pneumatic stop-key action. The specification was drawn up by William C. Carl, and the organ is being constructed by the Estey Organ Co. of Brattleboro, Vermont, under the personal supervision of Mr. Wm. E. Haskell."
