Notes

2012-06-30 - Identified through online information from Steven E. Lawson. -- Designed by Ernest White, this organ was known as a "Sputnik" model, so named for the world's first artificial satellite launched in 1957 by the Soviet Union. The unit organ had these resources: Sordun 16, Gedeckt 8, Principal 4 and Quint 2-2/3 (t.c.). A stoplist has not been found. The organ was "on loan" to White and installed in his apartment at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City. At some point, it was sold to John L. Frederick for his residence in Reading, Penn. -Database Manager
