Aeolian Orchestrelle 'Golian Harp' Stop
By John Farrell

Martin Anderson enquired :

"Something I can't find in the Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical
Instruments is mention of a stop that is on this organ.  It's called
a "Golian Harp".  I thought this might help with finding out what model
and year this really is.  I can find no mention of this stop name in
the encyclopedia or in another book I have called the "Dictionary of
Pipe Organ Stops" by Irwin."

I know nothing about organs, my musical interests lie elsewhere, but
I would guess that "Golian Harp" is in fact "Aeolian Harp".  Perhaps
age has caused the lettering on the stop to become indistinct?
