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."
