Anatomy of a WurliTzer Theatre Pipe Organ
Manual Chest.
The positions of the pneumatics were originally marked out with pencil lines.
These lines were not always straight or in exactly the right position.
These lines would be expected to disappear when the surface was sanded down
to remove the remaining old glue and restore the surface to flat. To preserve
the location of these lines a small indent was made at each corner with the point
of a small nail. These holes will not cause any harm and will not be sanded away.
They provide a mark to allow the lines to be replaced later in the original positions.
An alternative method is to make templates for each size pneumatic with a peg
to fit into the hole and use the templates to draw the lines around. This would
also correct any of the original errors.
