Database Manager on December 22, 2019:

This was a project of removing all of the pipework for cleaning, repairs, putting pipes back on-speech, re-leathering stoppers, and restoring displaced original pipework. One original removed rank was reinstated in a new application. Some tonal changes were also made utilizing original pipework and some other added vintage pipework.
