Does anybody know what an 'armature' is here?
It is a description about how to drive a bucket loader.

"Ram the drop-lever all the way forward until the bucket lay on the ground. Pull back on the drop-lever and shove the one that extended the armature with a high hydraulic whine. Watch as the bright oiled metal slid out of the dirty orange casing, pusing the bucket into the dirt."

I want to know what the 'armature' refers to here.
