Key Ranks: No such term exists in pipe organ nomenclature. "Keys" may refer to the keys of the keyboards - either the manual keyboards, standard modern compass 61 notes or the pedal keyboards, standard modern compass 32 notes. "Ranks" refer to a set of pipes, typically 61 pipes for a manual rank on a "striaght rank" or up to 97 on a "unit rank." "Stop keys" refer a method of stop controls - sometimes called "Stop tablets" or "Tabs." Other types of stop controls are drawknobs, tilting tablets or rocker tablets and other less common types of controls.

How many pipes per rank in a pipe organ IOW an organ with 14000 pipes would have how many ranks?
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.
