footplates
Where feet rest
Footplates are flat surfaces designed for standing or resting the feet.
On a steam locomotive, the footplate is the floor of the cab where the engineer and fireman stand: He spent thirty years on the footplate.
Exercise machines, ladders, and vehicles have footplates as standing platforms or supports.
In anatomy, the footplate is the base of the stapes bone in the middle ear.
