Your definition is absolutely correct as are some of the others. The problem with word definitions is the time-period and context. Word usage changes over time and also varies depending on who is using the word and where. Most older technical manuals written for automobile and tractor mechanics during the late 1800s and early 1900s describe the solenoid exactly as you have, and also use the word interchangibly with "helix." Many modern techinal manuals written for the 20th or 21th century "technician" will often desribe it a bit differently. My only point, if there is one, is there is no absolute defintion for the word that works everywhere. Even the word "mechanic" changes over time and places. It used to connote any person that worked with his hands, not just a "grease monkey" like some of us (or at least me).
