Estey Residence Organ Tracker Bar Assignments
By Jim Crank

I am in need of an accurate list of each of the hole assignments for the
Estey Automatic residence organ roll.  The double row tracker bar list.
Existing hole lists seem to contradict each other, so confusion reigns.

In order to complete the computer programming of two new and advanced
residence organ roll scanners, the Estey music has to be included.
There is too much of it, and the selections are quite good, so this
music must be saved and not ignored.

While I realize that most Estey residence organs seem to have been
totally duplexed, what is wanted is the hole for hole assignments for
the entire roll, assuming that each and every rank the Estey roll would
possibly want were available to the player as straight ranks.

I do think, from what research has already uncovered, is that the Estey
stop controls used pre-wired combination action pistons, and not
actually reversible stop switches like the Aeolian rolls, this may be
wrong.

Any assistance would be most helpful.
