NOTES
The preceding stoplist is from the files of Robert J. Reich of Methuen,
Massachusetts. It is not known if there may have been any divisional,
intra-manual couplers or Unison Off switches. The information regarding
Voices/Stops/Ranks/Pipes is not documented, but rather based on conjec-
ture, educated guessing, examination of the extant altered organ, and
documented changes from the 1943 rebuild.
