De firma Steinmeyer leverde in 1931 een orgel aan de kathedraal van het Heilige Sacrament in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Usa. Het is in 1955 door Aeolion-Skinner technisch gerestaureerd. George Steinmeyer maakte het orgel in 1960 schoon en schoof enkele registers een octaaf op. Bij een grondige restauratie door de firma Columbia Organ Works in 1990-1992 is het instrument weer geheel in de oorspronkelijke staat teruggebracht.
