This shot looks from the organ chambers toward the console. The Antiphonal division is visible above the console and the piano. On the left is the Twelfth 2 2/3', the 8 'Gedecht and half of the 8' Principal. On the right is the 2' Piccolo, the 4' Nacht Horn, the other half of the 8' Principal and the 8' octave of the Imperial Trumpet the rest of which is barely visible below the two leaded glass windows.

 

A closer view of the Antiphonal division. The Trumpet-en-Chamade is more prominent in this photo.

A closer view of the Imperial Trumpet. Pipes are held horizontal by the steel rods directly above the resonators. Also note the retainers on the boots to keep the pipes from moving out of their chest holes.
