ADDITIONAL DESIGN ELEMENTS OF THE
'RODGERS ORGAN
CONSOLE SPECIFICATIONS
As has previously been stated, the Rodgers
Organ
adheres
precisely to A.G.O. specifications. This means that the organist
can move from these organs to pipe organs and other A.G.O. consoles
and feel immediately at home. The order of the stops is the
same, as is the placement of manuals, stop divisions, and expression
pedal. Incidentally, the Pedal Clavier of a Rodgers Organ is
completely removable by merely lifting on each side and pulling
the Pedalboard back from the console. This makes it easy to
clean under the Pedalboard -- no cables, no contacts. The
Organ
contains a locking roll-top, making the organ tamper-proof.
LEVELING GLIDES
()
To assure optimum performance and life of the moving part,s of the
console, it should always be kept "square". Uneven floors tend to
distort the casework over a period of time, and extreme stresses
will damage the casework and equipment. Th~ leveling glides are
under each corner of the console and bench, and are mounted on
heavy threaded pins. These may be adjusted as much as 1-1/2" to (
compensate for irregularities in the floor. A simple spirit level
can assure the most accurate settings. This is particularly useful
in schools where the organ may have to be moved to several locations.
, SPEAKER SYSTEM
The Jamestown is available with either a self-contained, two-channel
speaker system, or with external cabinets. The internal speaker
system consists of a Main Channel (4 speakers) and a built-in Leslie
rotating speaker element.
The typical external speaker installation would include a full-range
Main Cabinet, plus a Leslie rotating speaker system. For added voice
separation, as many as three cabinets may be used as well as an Echo
speaker system, to give adequate power and spread for large churches.
In addition, external cabinets may be added to self-contained models
at a later date, if desired. Amplification is provided within each
Tone Cabinet using high performance all-transistor amplifiers.
