NOTES
The Balcom and Vaughan master opus list lists this simply as “used parts.”
It was believed that some of the pipework might have been Bennett, but
there is nothing to verify this.

The organ is installed in a chamber in the rear gallery of the chapel. The
chimes were installed outside the chamber and their volume was controlled
by their volume selector switch.

The organ is scheduled to be removed by a local Spokane organ technician.
