Yeah Bill, and it took a gazillion years for Hammond to figure out that was a feature most organists wanted. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it appear on spinet organs (and other brands) before it was added to modern B's and C's? Unless you're a classically traind heel and toe guy on the level of a Barbara Dennerlein (who strangely plays all 'toe' - at least when playing jazz), it is almost impossible to play a nice 'walking bass' with just pedals (with no sustain).
