Talk:Barber's pole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A few years ago there were over 100,000 barber shops in this country, but now there are only about 85,000.
Had to delete this as I don't know which "this country" is. PeteVerdon 14:30, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

The "Barber's Pole" is also the nickname of a red and white needle on the airspeed indicator in the cockpit of jet aircraft. It is there to warn the pilot that he must not fly any faster, or he may risk overstressing the aircraft.
Paul Murphy, pilot.
