[BC] Organs (was Re: Curious edits)

[Larry Bloomfield]

Don Leslie had his shop in Pasadena, not far from where the Rose Parade 
takes place. The speaker cabinet supplied by Hammond with their original 
B-1 and C-1 really sounded dead. He came up with the rotating horns on 
the top and rotating drum that gave the two speakers their vibrato. The 
field coil in the bottom speaker was used as a filter choak for the 
power supply in both the organ and speaker amplifer. Interesting 
arrangement. Later, other model Leslies were used on guitars and other 
instruments for a similar effect.
