This stoplist is taken from a booklet produced by Moller. It states that the stoplist was drawn up by the builders in consultation with Prof. Arthur Fickenscher, Dean of the Department of Music at the University. The wind-pressures were from 10in. to 20in., presumably to project sound in a large outdoor arena. There appears to be a certain amount of borrowing between Great and Choir, though this is not stated in the source.
