The case is of selected red BIRCH ee-
gantly carved and finished to match the
n.erior wood work of the church. At
the sides the case is composed of open
work panels, the entire height OF the
organ. In front the case extends up
ward the height of the great organ
sound boards. and is surmounted by a
belt, which supports and conveys the
wind to the beautiful display of speaking
pipes in front. At each of the fronG cor
ners are towers of the full sixteen feet
metal speaking pipes of the double open
diapson, which is the stop that gives the
characteristic dignity and breadth of tone
to the mammal department. of large
organ.
between these towers are displayed
more of the large m etal pipes, and in e
center. the lower notes of the eight feet
open diapason are corbelled out over the
key desk.
All of the above pipes are Furnished
with aluminium. and tastefully decorated
with bronze and gold bands.
The artistic design of the above combi-
nation of pipes and elegant case work, is
magnificent and imposing to a degree
that one would scarcely believe without
seeing it
There are two large bellows which are
placed in the basement under the organ.
and the four feeders are operated by
throw cranks, on line OF shafting,
which is to be driven by an electric
motor.
One of the important features which
has been added TOT this organ, by Mr..
Hutchings. is n double set of vertical
swell shutters. controlled by balanced
pedal. The shutters being double greatly
enhance the efficiency of the swell
organ.
