NOTES
The entire Great and the Pedal 16'/8'/4' Contra Bass unit are exposed at the front,
right side of this Akron plan sanctuary. The Swell is enclosed behind the exposed
pipework, and the blower is in a separate attic room which draws heated air from
the chamber and returns it to the pipes.

The drawknob console is in the sanctuary-level choir "gallery" below the exposed
pipes, and the organist faces into the congregation.

The Great II Mixture uses an independent 1⅓' quint rank and the 2' Flach Flöte to
derive its pitches. The Swell 4' Wald Flöte is an open wood rank. The 2' Block
Flöte is an extension of the 8' Rohr Flöte, and the 1' Sifflöte is an extension
of the 4' Wald Flöte. Its top octave repeats.
