NOTES
The Diapason is in the center façade, the Octave in the sides,
with one dummy on each end; the rest are real pipes. It has
pneumatic façade action, with Roosevelt-style motors facing
the pipes. There is a small primary pouch that is inflated by
wind thru lead tubes. This exhausts the pneumatic to play the
pipes. The Pedal Bourdon on the left side has one two-note
chest cut off the end and moved so that the wnidline from the
blower could pass thru. The Pedal key action is splayed, so
there are no rollers; the traces fan to the two chests, 1-11
on left and 12-30 on right. Swell box, shades and tremolo are
missing.
