This assumes the standard mechanical console. The Roosevelt adjustable system provided four pistons to Swell and Great, three to Choir and two pedals adjustable, to the Pedal division. It is unlikely that Theodore Lewis would have suggested installing a combination action in the original console if such a feature were present. At that time Lewis & Hitchcock consoles were provided with only divisional pistons and not in much greater quantity.
