I think ... It's a rather complicated machine, then? :)

OK, so the divisions then are the labeled items in each of the sections:

eg. Pedal Left, Unenclosed Chior, Great, etc ...

 From a different organ:

Each row of pipes would be a rank, then?

So, the string division on this organ has dozens of stops?

OK. When you mentioned stops, you mentioned a 32' (or was it 16'?) stop. 
Obviously from the sheer size a very low note. How does that relate to 
the organ.

FWIW, you really can't appreciate a pipe organ unless you hear it live.

The church my inlaws go to has a pipe organ that they actually use. It's 
pretty much brand new. The lowest notes were simply incredible to 
experience. (It is a legitimate pipe organ, you can see the display 
pipes, I have no idea where the rest of the instrument is. I've not 
actually looked at the console.)
