that component holding all the foot pedals.

preparing the "rack board" for attaching to the
"toe board" for one of the Antiphonal organ chambers
located in the balcony. The "toe board" is the board
with the hole in it that the air receiving end of the pipe
sets in on top of the wind chest. The "rack board"
is located some distance above the "toe board" and
holds the pipes in place.

The
completed wind lines to the north wall on the right and to
the east chambers on the left.

These
lines run up to the east side of the altar ...

and the west side of the altar.

The
completed "shutter wall" in the east lower chamber.

These
are "Haskells." Organ Building 101 states that if
a pipe is capped it will sound at twice its length, i.e.,
a lower pitch. Haskells are attached in the top of a pipe
to give a partial blockage of air that can vary the amount
of change of the pitch! The hymnal is shown for size comparison.

Some
pipes are attached horizontally to the ceiling of the east
lower chamber.

initial installation of pipes on both sides of the Antiphonal
organ in the balcony. The supporting racks are "sculpted"
or "scalloped" to the circumference of each pipe.

Environment Control installed a modem in one of the air handling
control units so that the unit performance can be monitored
and changed from a remote computer, including one of our own.
