It is a true tonewheel organ with respect to staying in tune by virtue of
the synchronous motor generator. It was also Hammonds first true realization
of producing pure sine waves without the artifacts of the previous models or
defects which have become famous and many have grown to love. It also was
the only one to produce sine, square, and triangle waveforms using
tonewheels as its basis through divider technology.
