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.

[edit] ====================================================================================

There was a section on this (and others) before - but a NY public school IP butchered this article and the one on the Susan E Wagner High School.

If you think the text is now inaccurate - could you tidy it up Paul? Dugo 23:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

The picture for this page is a little out of focus, perhaps someone can try to take a better one. Ultratone85 17:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where?

I've never seen any of these in Spain. Only in american movies. As the history section talks about France having had them too, I guess they also have there, nowadays. We should be explicit in the article about the parts in the world where one of those can be found. --euyyn (talk) 14:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Color?

The article says that they are usually Red and white. What about the blue stripes?[[00:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
