Thanks to everyone for their help with my Morton questions, especially
Allen Miller, Art Nisson, Jim Riggs, & Dave Schutt.
The tip about pressures being scratched on tenor C pipes showed me that
this thing is on 10" left, 15" right side.
Here's the background on the organ, since ya asked --
1926 Morton 2/10 installed Saenger Theatre Mobile. Only vox chest is a
Carlsted. Removed about '71 to local Catholic Church (nice work), returned
& partially erected about '81 (catastrophe). Parts scattered throughout
theater & adjoining buildings, stuff in chambers (both sides) damaged
by roof leak & plasterers.
Console pneumatics removed & console fully electrocuted when removed in '71.
Harry Heth has resurrected this thing via telephone remote control.
(Thanks, Harry!)
I'll try to get this nomenclature right --

Bass Drum, Tympani (oscillating B-Dr), Cymbal, Crash cymbal, Snare,
Tambourine, Castenets, Tom, Tambourine, Sleigh Bells, Wood Block
(B-Dr, Tym, & Crash available on pedal 2nd touch, Crash on toe stud)
L=Left, R=right, TC=Tenor C, N=Magnetic North, 3=2-2/3, T=1-3/5, t=2nd touch
I'm following the original spec & chamber layout because - well, why not.
With the possible exception of the Xylophone. Allen Miller feels the
Xylo on the Accomp is a useless stop. So I'm moving it to the pedal.
He IS Allen Miller, after all.
So at what pressure do I set the dice boxes for the switch, relay, shades,
bells, chimes, & traps?
