On-line update from Carol Hassman -- The 1912 original was tubular pneumatic, with an electro-pneumatic Echo division at the front of the room. It was rebuilt in 1948 by a local builder named Smith, if current-source memories are correct; same source says Smith worked on a number of Kilgens in the area. At that time the gallery divisions were converted to electro-pneumatic action, and both the Swell Cornopean and 16' and 8' pedal trumpets were added. Additional changes were made in 1974.
