content: Edward C. Pickering recommended "An organ bellows capable of giving a perfectly constant current of air under various pressures” in his <i>Elements of Physical Manipulation</i> (New York, 1873), noting that “One of the best forms is that made by Cavaillé-Coll (sold by Koenig) with regulator attached." Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811-1899) was a noted organ maker in Paris; Rudolph Koenig (1832-1901) was the leading acoustic apparatus maker in Paris. This example of that instrument was purchased for Union College in Schenectady, New York, in the mid-1870s..
