In the years after the advent of the transistor, and later, integrated circuits and microprocessors, miles of wiring and electro-pneumatic relays have given way to electronic and computerized control and relay systems, which have made the control of pipe organs much more efficient. But for its time, the electro-pneumatic action was considered a ...
In a large organ with perhaps fifteen ranks in a division, this means that the organist may be moving upwards of sixty cone valves at any time in a four-part texture. Many organs with cone valve chests make use of pneumatic assist devices such as the Barker lever to reduce the perceived weight of the keys.
An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
A very early CD4029A counter IC, in 16-pin ceramic dual in-line package (DIP-16), manufactured by RCA Colorized IC die and schematics of CD4011BE NAND gateThe 4000 series was introduced as the CD4000 COS/MOS series in 1968 by RCA [1] as a lower power and more versatile alternative to the 7400 series of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) chips.
Tracker action in Jørlunde church.Organ by Frobenius (2009). Tracker action is a term used in reference to pipe organs and steam calliopes to indicate a mechanical linkage between keys or pedals pressed by the organist and the valve that allows air to flow into pipe(s) of the corresponding note.

The following is a list of CMOS 4000-series digital logic integrated circuits.In 1968, the original 4000-series was introduced by RCA.Although more recent parts are considerably faster, the 4000 devices operate over a wide power supply range (3V to 18V recommended range for "B" series) and are well suited to unregulated battery powered applications and interfacing with sensitive analogue ...
On a mechanical-action organ, a coupler may connect one division's manual directly to the other, actually moving the keys of the first manual when the second is played. Some organs feature a device to add the octave above or below what is being played by the fingers. The "super-octave" adds the octave above, the "sub-octave" the octave below. [1]
