Notes: It would appear that the Pedal upperwork was omitted from the published stoplist.  One would assume that there was at least a 4' Flute and hopefully a 4' Octave.  The write-up said, "One of the features of the specification is the replacement of the usual Pedal 16' Bourdon with a Gemshorn to be used at 16, 8 and 5 1/3 ft pitches.  It is also to be used on the Choir as a double and is to be unenclosed.  The Echo celeste is expected to take the form of a small-scaled Quintadena celeste.  The organ will have a most favorable environment, the auditorium being reported to be perfect acoustically."
