An all-electric system for controlling the organ

An all-electric system for controlling the organDIRECT-ELECTRIC™ is a trademark of the Wicks Organ Company of Highland, Illinois. It refers to their all-electric system for controlling the organ, and includes patented electro-magnetic pipe valves in the chests and the entire switching system that routes the electrical impulses from the keys to the proper valves. This was developed prior to 1920 and has been greatly refined since then. It eliminates both the periodic releathering required by the electro-pneumatic system, and the limitations of the mechanical connections of the tracker system.
