Flute FF - depressing will cause a moderate increase in all Flute voices on the organ Chiff The Chiff Tablet is used when the Baroque accent is desired on the Flutes. When this tab is depressed it adds the 19th momentarily to each note as it is played simultaneously to all Flutes. Pre-Set Combination Action. The four reverse-colored stop tabs in the center section of the stop rail of the Jamestown form one of its most convenient featuers. The pre-set tabs, used in conjunction with the individual stops on the stop rail, aloow the organist to change registrations in an instant. The three pre-set tabs are labeled as to their general dynamic level, and are voiced with an eye to general church service playing. The SOFT combination is used for meditative moments or quiet accompaniments, the MEZZO combination is used for prayer hymns, medium choral accompaniments, etc. The FULL combination is used for major anthems, processional hymns, etc. These tabs are additive and any combination of them may be used at any time. The stop rail tab, when depressed, disconnects the stop-rail temporarily, leaving only those stops which are on by virtue of a pre-set tab being depressed. Thus, the registration of the individual stops on the stop-rail can be changed while the organ is being played on a pre-set, without affecting the pres-set registration. Then, the stop-rail can be re-engaged by turning off the Stop-Rail tab, after which the pre-sets can either be left on or turned off. The Stop-Rail tab does not affect the General Tabs. The pre-set Combination tabs are set as follows: #1 - Soft Pedal, 16' Lieblich Gedeckt, 8' Flute Great, 8' Bourdon Swell, 8' Gemshorn, 4' Flute #2 - Mezzo Pedal, 16', Bourdon, 8' Octave Great, 8' Diapason, 4' Octave, 4' Flute Swell, 8' Gedeckt, 4' Flute, 2' Piccolo #3 - Full Pedal, 16' Bourdon, 8' Octave, 4' Choralbass Great, 8' Diapason, 8' Bourdon, 4' Octave, 2 2/3' Twelfth, 2' Fifteenth Swell, 8' Gedeckt, 8' Gemshorn, 4' Octave, 2' Piccolo Transposer The Transposer will raise or lower the pitch of the organ a full four semitones (half steps) in either direction, controlled by 8 pistons and a neutral position piston on the right Swell piston rail. There is also a corresponding light panel to inform the organist of the position of the transformer, to avoid any confusion. When the organ is shut off via the power switch the transposer reverts automatically to the normal pitch position. Main Organ On/Off Concave and radiating A.G.O.
