Notes: "Pipes will be housed in a special 18 x 32 foot compartment above the ceiling of the auditorium, the sound being transmitted through a grill. An exception will be the Echo organ, which will have a place of its own in the rear. The console will be the only visible part of the organ and will be at the left side of the auditorium main floor facing the stage." (from The Diapason, April 1928)

The console was relocated as Op. 696-A
