armatureIn a motor or generator, the wire-wound coil that carries the current and rotates in a magnetic field. (In alternating-current machines, the armature is sometimes stationary.) The pole piece of a permanent magnet or electromagnet and the moving, iron part of a solenoid, especially if the latter acts as a switch, may also be referred to as armatures.

| Torp sees Tjuvholmen as a robust yet generous armature for all sorts of activities, for both locals and tourists. The costume, restored and mounted on an armature with a mask of Lahr's likeness, is a major attraction in a sale rich in Hollywood historic artifacts. Since almost any armature could lie under that wrapping, at least part of the work's aura originates in a suspicion of discontinuity and fracture: It seems doubtful that an artist who had shaped a body as carefully as Weisz has shaped this figure's head, hands, and feet would so hide her craft. |
