I recall that in +- 1957 Richard Purvis added a Trompette Provencale to the Solo. And about a year later he added a Benedictine Trumpet.
 
I remember the Trompette Provencale, a fiery reed that added some much-needed sting to the Tuba (which was/is not much bigger than the Swell reeds), but I have no real aural memory of the Benedictine Trumpet. Was this still the same grotesque quasi-Post Horn that is heard on the mid-60's Word record, "Richard Purvis at the Grace Cathedral Organ [WST-9033]"?
 
I don't know the chest layouts, but I'm pretty sure that there were no spare drawknobs on the original 1934 console. How -- assuming I'm not making this up, which I'm not -- did all of this happen?
