1--the Swell 8 Geigen Principal had only a console blank with no engraving and only space provided in the Swell chamber; 2--the Great Rauschquinte II had 136 pipes so as to work with the super coupler 7 notes above the keyboard compass as did the other stops on the Great; 2--the tremulant in the adversement was engraved "tremolo" on the stop tabs.
