Austin developed a universal air chest system. This was an airtight chamber with the chest action at the top of the chamber. A feature of this system was that the chest could be entered while the organ was turned on, which allowed for fine tuning of the organ. The modern chest design was first developed in 1913, and has been refined over the years. In 1905 the company began building electric consoles. The consoles as well have been refined over the years.
