NOTES
The preceding specification seems to be a "window" in time for this
instrument. It was not in particularly good shape when I visited in
January, 1988. While the assignment of pipes to a given division above
will likely seem odd (if not even wrong), it IS where the pipes were
based on what divisions' expression shoe governed the volume. Neither
the chimes nor harp were playing at the time of my visit. And the
chests were not playing for 73 notes as would be expected for a 1928
Austin.

[Editors' Note: With the exception of some additions, the entire organ is enclosed in a  free-standing box with horizontal shutters. Because of the placement of the organ in an over-large space, effectiveness of the shutters is difficult to ascertain from the console.]
