DESIGN
The Design concept is being worked out in the final proposal by Weston Harris. Our committee has yet to discuss the design recommendations. Mr. Harris was engaged, however, to dismantle, pack and direct the transport of the Reuter instrument to our campus. In early June, ten volunteers brought all the pipes, chests and components down from the Good Shepherd tower and loaded trucks for the trip to Hollywood. All the parts are now stored in two rooms here at HLC, awaiting installation.

Planning Space for Pipe Organs--An Architect's Guide (17 pp.) published by the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America. Many of these considerations are for new construction of a church building, and do not apply. Yet this guide has much useful information about what goes into planning for a successful instrument installation.
