      Note: Aeolian-Votey stated that the above was the preferred manual division
      into two chambers. Alternatively, "Organ can be installed in one chamber
      or all pipes in one and drums and traps with Xylophone or with Chimes and
      Xylophone in a smaller chamber. Chimes, having loud and soft actions, can be
      left unenclosed if preferred."
