   Yea!!!!! right on Glenn, Unfortunatley I studied organ (in England)
with access to two "three deckers" one was designed with four equal divisions
and the other with five, (one a floating bombard 16', three  8' and two 4').
I have always considered that the sort of modern desination of the instrument
as "The Organ" was historically inacurate.  The instrument is a collection
of Organs and should be designed and played as such.  I have had a couple of
oportunities to buy an electronic (is that a toaster?) quite cheaply but
have always been totally disgusted with the pedal, designed just as an
accompaniment for the manuals, a suboctave couple would work just as well!
Why they do this I will never know as I believe the cost would be negligable.
