Anyway, on to the quote:
....Inherent in thefaithful translation of themasters' works from notes
o the page to meaningful sound is the transparent, flue-character
ensemble.  This si ideal for polyphony and voal or instrumental
accompaniment.  In turn, sympathetic acoustics and placement are implied
as the historic and artistic associates of thie type of tone.  [italics]
They are pre-requisites to a successful  installation.
    In considering the design and execution of an instrument, basic
factors must be seriously considered.  First, the placement of the
instrument:  It must be [within the walls - italics] of the building in
which it is heard to be totally successful.   Second, carpets, rubs,
heavy organ cases and aritifical acoustical absorbent materials must not
be tolerated if the spirit of the great literature is to emerge.  With
these basic factors light wind pressures are possible and only with
light pressures can the full color and cohesiveness of both flue and
reed pipes be developed and transmitted to the listener....
