Love of lathes.

(Armature is the old term but at Brooks we always referred to the revolving part as the rotor).

When I was at college in from 1986-8 we were taught that DC/Universal motors had an Armature which spun around in the Yoke whereas AC ones had a Rotor spinning in a Stator.

I've never seen replacement armatures sold as Rotors but Yokes often got called Stators.

It doesn't matter what you call it so long as it goes 'round.
