French term

relevage

French to English Tech/Engineering Music Organ workings
Le buffet et la partie instrumentale sont de Baker et Verschneider et datent de 1865.C'est le premier orgue construit avec un système électrique de Peschard. Il y a eu une modification des mixtures et un relevage par Merklin en 1974.

I've very little to go on here. This is a website describing the the heritage of a well known town. There is no more text than this.

Any help would be appreciated.
