The Kimball Organ

Stoplist & Specifications

The Stop List which follows is from the final purchase agreement between First Plymouth and the W. W. Kimball Organ Co., Chicago, Ill. on June 11, 1930. Several revisions to the specifications were made until Spring of 1930. No other changes appear in the archives after 6/11/30; this is believed to be an accurate representation of the instrument as installed. Installation began in January of 1931. This document was scanned and no attempt has been made to correct the omission of line numbers or inconsistent spellings.

"6/11/30
