ABSTRACT
When Welin turned on the motor, smoke poured from the vicinity of the pipes, followed by a horrid stench of burning rubber (from the insulating layer of the electrical wires). It was later found that all the mechanical parts made of soft metal (lead and tin) had melted. The insurance company refused to pay, because the investigation revealed that at some point someone had used a bent sewing needle in the place of a normal fuse. … When news of the “burnt-down” Göteborg organ reached the Bremen church council, they decided to cancel the concert in the Cathedral.
