conductor's

Baton wielder's possession

Conductor's is the possessive form of conductor.

A conductor leads an orchestra or musical ensemble, so the conductor's baton keeps time and cues performers.

A conductor also collects fares on a train or bus: the conductor's uniform.

In physics, a conductor transmits electricity or heat, making the conductor's properties relevant to engineering discussions.
