When we associate ''“ratios of the gearwheels’ integer teeth numbers”'' with ''“frequency ratios between partials”'' we realize an intrinsic ''just interval'' determined by integer teeth numbers within such mechanical gear - even without turning the shafts! Although the Hammond Organ pretends to generate a 12edo scale, the instrument in fact creates a ''high prime limit'' just scale.
