SOURCE
Stoplist from 'The Harrison Story' by Laurence Elvin (1974), and 'The Organ - its tonal structure and registration' by Clutton and Dixon (1950). The former source gives the Swell 4ft. as a Flute, the latter as a Geigen Principal. Information in the archives of Messrs. Harrison confirms the Geigen Principal, and shows that the ranks of the Cornet 12.15.17. were, respectively, flute, salicional and dulciana (information from 'St. Bees Revisited' by Relf Clark in BIOS Journal 23, 1999.)
