Abstract: | Abstract Observations are reviewed that indicate the existence of rotating rings in a number of galaxies that possess poloidal magnetic fields in their nuclear regions, including our own Galaxy. Jets from these, possibly aligned with the poloidal field, may also be present. The role of these rings in dynamo processes is briefly discussed. |
