An Entirely Different Facility

While scanning your post, it seemed that you were claiming the idea for the organ in the hall (Sydney Town Hall) which was being discussed was yours. To the casual reader, it was not obvious that you were talking about an entirely different facility.

I'll add that I've now read the article by Chris Erskine (2002), and there is no mention of a Tim Bailey birthing the idea of a combination pipe/electronic organ. In fact, from the beginning of the article:

"The combination organ - part electronic, part pipe - has finally arrived in Australia. Although relatively common in the USA,"

Relatively common in the USA. Apparently, this combination has been used by organ makers for years.

To proclaim "The original idea for this was mine!" is a major mis-representation. Maybe the notion to consider it (using a MIDI connection) was new to you, but then-current practice - as had been previously implemented multiple times - was much more advanced than your idea.
