This century has now revived the old wind-pipe {Springlade) in the im- proved form of the pallet (Ger. Kegellade). The Kegel- lade is the invention of Walcker of Ludvvigsburg (1842).
A substantial removal of the difficulties of organ playing, was effected by the ingenious invention, by the English organ builder C. S. Barker (1832), of the pneumatic lever, which transferred the work of lifting both pallets and slides to small auxiliary bellows. The same master of the art of organ building (died
...1879) also, in later life, in- vented the electric action, by means of which the easiest manner imaginable of playing on the keyboard was com- bined with the quickest imaginable effect of the action, so that the response of the pipes became the promptest possible. An invention similar in effect to the pneu- matic lever is the tubular pn eumatic system. Eminent distinc- tion for the further improvement of the organ, is also due to the Parisian organ-builder A.Cavaille-Coll (born 181 1), who amongst other things employed separate wind-chests, with wind of different degrees of strength, for the lower, middle and higher parts of the keyboard, invented the harmonic flutes, and the so-called combination-pedal, by which several loud stops might be forced out in a group and the sound thus strengthened.
