  We present results from multifrequency polarimetry of NRAO 140 using the Very
Long Baseline Array. These observations allow us to reveal the distributions of
both the polarization position angle and the Faraday rotation measure (RM).
These distributions are powerful tools to discern the projected and
line-of-sight components of the magnetic field, respectively. We find a
systematic gradient in the RM distribution, with its sign being opposite at
either side of the jet with respect to the jet axis. The sign of the RM changes
only with the direction of the magnetic field component along the line of
sight, so this can be explained by the existence of helical magnetic components
associated with the jet itself. We derive two constraints for the pitch angle
of the helical magnetic field from the distributions of the RM and the
projected magnetic field; the RM distribution indicates that the helical fields
are tightly wound, while that of the projected magnetic field suggests they are
loosely wound around the jet axis. This inconsistency may be explained if the
Faraday rotator is not cospatial with theemitting region. Our results may point
toward a physical picture in which an ultra-relativistic jet (spine) with a
loosely wound helical magnetic field is surrounded by a sub-relativistic wind
layer (sheath) with a tightly wound helical magnetic field.
