quite a distance away. You can use my name if you want to.

I'm going to contact him and interview him about this. I'd like to
know ifthe computer could also select different ranks.
After more than three years, U of Iowa's
PDP-8 project active
again
Years ago, I had a colleague named Prentiss Knowlton who built
asolenoid bank to connect to his PDP-8. He put the solenoid bank on
thekeyboard of the 90-rank Schlicker pipe organ in the All
SaintsEpiscopal Church in Pasadena, CA. It played the music for his
wedding.
Later, he published an album of pipe-organ performances, on the
sameorgan, entitled "Unplayed by Human Hands."

I don't know whether he still has the computer.
Thanks for the tip, Van.
