IOW? A rank can have anything from 49 to 97 pipes depending on whether it is a straight or unit rank. There are even some short ranks that have fewer than 49 pipes. Ranks in the pedal divisions will have 32 pipes in a straight organ and that number plus multiples of 12 in a unit organ. As for the 14,000 pipe organ, a rough idea will be that number divided by 61. It's probably around 250 ranks when you take into account pedal ranks.

In theatre organ terminology what is the meaning of Ranks and what it the meaning of divisionals?
"Ranks" in pipe organ terminology, whether theatre/cinema organs or concert/church organs, are individual sets or rows of pipes operated by a single control known as a STOP. A rank can be anything from a few pipes to more than 100. Organs may have only 1 rank of pipes - a practice instrument in a house, perhaps. A large cathedral or concert organ might have more than a hundred ranks of pipes. The largest pipe organ in the world has so many ranks nobody has been able to get an exact count of them! Each pipe rank is made to sound, or SPEAK, by a switch or knob (called a STOP) at the keyboards (called the CONSOLE). This opens a valve which allows WIND into the WINDCHEST underneath the rank of pipes. But the pipes won't sound until the organist presses a key on the keyboard which opens another valve under the correct pipe. This makes it easy for the organist to vary the sound without a break in the musical performance. An organ might be described as a WurliTzer 3/8, to give an example. The first number tells you how many KEYBOARDS (for the hands) the instrument has - 3 in this case: the second number is the number of PIPE RANKS in it. This instrument has 8 ranks The foundation sound in a theatre organ comes from a set of pipes called the TIBIA rank. This sound is often made to shake or vibrate by causing a variation in the wind supply. This effect can be switched on or off by using the TREMULANT switch at the keyboards or CONSOLE. The foundation sound of the classical/church organ is made by ranks of DIAPASON pipes. If all ranks of pipes were made the same length (just shortening them to make the notes rise up in pitch) the sound would quickly become boring. So ranks of pipes are made in varying lengths. A theatre organ would have a rank of TIBIA pipes. When the TIBIA 8' stop is turned on, this would sound at the same pitch as a piano. The measurement of a pipe is that of the longest pipe in the rank, which is played by the lowest "C" on the keyboard. The control (stop) for this would be labelled TIBIA 8'. But on its own this is a dull sound. To brighten it the organist might add a pipes from the same TIBIA pipes one octave higher, which would have the name on its stop, TIBIA 4'. These pipes would play 8 notes - or an OCTAVE - higher than the 8' rank. However, a theatre organ just adds 12 pipes to the end of the rank to add an extra octave, versus a classical organ which typically has a rank of pipes per stop There might even be a stop labeled 2' which would make for a very bright sound. The control for this would be labeled TIBIA 2' and the pipes would sound 2 octaves (16 notes) above the 8' rank. Therefore, if the organist switches on the TIBIA 8' and TIBIA 4' and TIBIA 2' stops and plays the bottom note "C" on the keyboard you would hear THREE pipes sounding together and making a bright sound. Every key he pressed would also make 3 pipes sound at the same time. Ranks of pipes in an organ are also made in different shapes to create different kinds of sounds. Just as a trumpet makes a different sound from a trombone which has a different sound to a tuba. An organist can get many varieties of tone color by combining different ranks of pipes and varying the combination as he plays.
How many pipes are in a organ?
The organ I play at an Episcopal (Anglican) church has 2,900 pipes, which is actually just about medium-sized (if there is such a measurement). The smaller theater organs I've played have about 1,000. The smaller church organ down the street has about 2,000.

How do a flute and organ pipes produce sound?
The shape and design of the pipes determine what the nature of their sound will be. There are two basic types of organ pipe; flue and reed. Flue pipes are, in a simplified explanation, whistles - no moving parts. Reed pipes have a brass tongue much like you would find in a harmonica. The tongue is mounted at the base of a pipe or resonator. Reeds and flues make distinctly different sounds. Pipes may be made of metal or wood. Think of all the different variations that one can make to a simple, cylindrical pipe; Wide, narrow, open or closed, flared towards the top or tapering towards the top, poke a hole in it, cut a slot, mount a little chimney on it. These make for the tonal variations between different types of pipes. Now, these my be further used in groups - Additive Synthesis. Furthermore, different stops speak at different pitch levels allowing for still more variation.

What four pipes are in a musical organ?
A single organ pipe can play one note and one note only. Therefore; an organ with only four pipes would play exactly four notes. A small organ with one set of pipes will have as many pipes as it does keys. Even a small, modest church organ will have at least 200+ pipes. I suspect that you may be asking about the different types or classifications of organ pipes. Organ pipes can broken down by several different classifications. The two most basic types are Flue and Reed. The former are simply whistles, no moving parts. The latter produce tone with brass tongues much like those found in a harmonica, the difference being that in an organ reed pipe a resonator is employed - this being the pipe of a reed pipe. The resonator both amplifies the tone produced by the tongue and gives it stability of pitch. It's particular shape also allows for a particular timbre - or "color" such as that of an Oboe, Clarinet or Rohrschalmei. In these two basic categories there are further divisions. Within the flues there are open pipes and stopped pipes. There are also "half stopped" pipes such as the Rohrflute in which each pipe has a smaller pipe extending from the covered top - a chimney or "rohr". Open pipes can be classified as Foundation, (the Principals or Diapasons) String, (Viola da Gamba, Salicional) Flute, (Melodia, Hohlflute) or Hybrid, (Gemshorn, Dolcan). Stopped pipes are exclusively in the flute family although considerable variation exists between wide scaled (such as the Tibia Clausa) and narrow scaled (such as the Lieblichgedeckt) types. Reed pipes fall into two general categories: Those with full length (sometimes double or triple length) resonators such as the Trumpet and Oboe and those with fractional length and resonators such as the Clarinet, Krummhorn and the various types of Regals (which are a sub-category in themselves). Within these two categories there are two sub-categories; Chorus reeds that are voiced to blend with the ensemble and Solo reeds that are designed to be used for playing melody lines or for dramatic effects such as the State Trumpet. Another category is that of compound voices: Mixtures and voices with more than one rank. The latter are usually composed of a rank tune on pitch and another rank tuned off pitch to create a celeste, or a gentile beating caused by one rank being tuned slightly flat o sharp. Sometimes these voices contain both a flat and a sharp rank. Mixture stops are usually composed of several ranks of open, foundation pipes although flute pipes are often used in Color Mixtures. The two types or mixtures are Chorus Mixtures and Color Mixtures. Chorus Mixtures most often are composed of ranks sounding at octave, unison and fifths although elaborate "Compensating" or "Harmonic Mixtures" often contain ranks tuned to thirds, flat sevenths and other pitches of the natural harmonic scale. Color mixtures usually contain third sounding ranks (such as the Sesquialtra and Cornet) the exception to this being the Cymbal (or Zimbel) which contains only octave and fifth sounding ranks and is intended to add a sparkling effect to combinations. Foundation pipes are used in Chorus Mixtures and Cymbals, flute pipes in Color Mixtures although foundation pipes are sometimes used in combination with flute pipes in Color Mixtures. String Mixtures were once quite popular in the heyday of the orchestral organ (such as the Dolce Cornet) and String Mixtures are found in the string divisions of many large organs. It should also be mentioned that there is a classification of pipes according to their pitches - the Mutations or Aliquots (Quint 2 2/3' Nasard 2 2/3' Tierce 1 3/5' for example) which sound at other than unison or octave pitch. These are typically pitched at fifth, third or octaves thereof although other pitches of the natural harmonic scale are sometimes seen as discussed under Mixtures. Mutations are further classified by their intended use just as are the mixtures; either for reinforcing the ensemble, in which case foundation pipes are used, or for color, in which case flute pipes are used.

What system do organs have and what is its role?
The organ is a system that relies heavily on pipes and wind. Without these two key components there would simply be so noise. The role of an organ is quite frankly to make people either cheerful or sad depending on what song is being played by the musician.
