The thing that's always puzzled me, is why Hammond chose to equip the G-100
with stop tabs, instead of their traditional Drawbars, which were copied off
the design of pullstops on pipe organs in the first place?

the G-100 was Hammond's attempt to get the business of the people
seeking the more traditional type of church organ, where at that
time, those people were going to Allen and Rodgers, as well as
other companies such as Baldwin. The G-100 is housed in a HUGE
console, with traditional stop tabs, and the usual compliment of
inter and intra-manual couplers. It also featured an antiphonal
division, and a 32-note AGO pedalboard, which at the time, was
only featured on one other Hammond, although that particular
model escapes me right now. Another unique feature about the
G-100, was the fact that it didn't have the usual power switches.
It had a regular switch (on/off).
