NOTE: The stopkey layout was unusual, the main curved rail being set out from left to right: Lower - Pedal - Upper, with an additional stright rail above the upper manual. The stops were coloured red, white, blue, black, yellow and brown in a symmetrical pattern so that each half of the curved rail was a mirror image of the other.

The organ built by Spurden Rutt for the Palace Theatre, Slough, is believed to have been identical.

NOTE: The above specification is of the organ in its final form in the theatre. During the 1930s the Trumpet rank replaced the original Gamba rank (apart from the 16 ft octave of Haskelled basses, which, on the Pedal only, were then wired as an extension to the Violin) and the Krummet rank replaced the original French Horn rank. Sustainers were originally fitted, but were removed at the request of Leo Webber, who opened the organ in 1934. Prior to its installation at Sutton, the instrument was originally installed in the Prince's Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, in 1933, as a 3/11. The Tibia had wood pipes, as, possibly uniquely for a Compton organ, did the Flute rank. It is not known whether the wood Flute was original or a later replacement. The Vox Humana pipes were of later date than the bulk of the organ, and appear to have been substituted at some stage.

Comparision with the specification of the organ of the Granada Theatre, Tooting will show the derivation of this specification. Provision was made for the addition of two additional ranks (Tuba Mirabilis and Gamba Céleste) which did not materialise. Minor changes, including the addition of a Tibia Tierce (1 3/5ft), were made to the organ.

NOTE: Identical or virtually indentical organs were installed at the Granada Theatres at Woolwich, Greenwich, Wandsworth Road, Bedford and Mansfield. At Bedford, the Flute, rather than the Tibia, was extended to 16 ft. compass. The Bedford organ was installed in 1934, the others in 1936 and 1937.

Wind pressures: All pipework except Vox Humana — 10 inches. Vox — 6 inches. Percussions/action — 12 inches

A limited number of pianos were "shared" between the twelve 8-rank (and the two 10-rank) Granada Wurlitzer organs, and were moved from theatre to theatre as required.

NOTE: This was not a new organ when installed by Compton in 1937. It is beleived to have been built orginally in 1928 for another theatre and was removed to the Cameo-Poly in 1937. Whether any changes were made is not known. It was installed in a single chamber in the form of a wooden box bracketed onto the rear wall of the stage.
