Incredibly, even more changes were to follow, but these were the last and it is probable that they were completed by the end of 1925.

N.B. Pedal Ophicleide registers (16-8-4, unenclosed, 20-inch pressure)
are listed in some stop lists, but they were probably derived from the
Great organ's Tuba Sonora. A Midmer-Losh document indicates that a
separate Ophicleide rank was certainly planned but whether it was
installed is another matter. If it was not, it was the only stop in that
particular document to be omitted but, even so, it is doubtful that it
existed and, therefore, it has not been included in these calculations.
