 The touch of key plays the proper note by causing out of the tubes to osCillate. The electric i'm pulses thus set up may then be carried directly to a loudspcaker, which transforms them into sound. But they need not be transformed into sound at once, and this fact is held to open q vast realm of pos abilities for the radio organ.
