		trigonometry the " pole " of a circle on a sphere is the point where the diameter of the sphere perpendicular to the plane of the circle intersects the sphere.
		In crystallography (q.v.) the " pole " of a face is the intersection of a line perpendicular to the face with the sphere of projection.
		The " magnetic poles " of the earth are the points on the earth's surface where the dipping needle is vertical (see Terrestrial Magnetism); and the " poles " of a magnet are the points of the magnet where the magnetic intensity is greatest.

	Pole vault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pole vaulting is an athletics event where competitors use a long, flexible pole as an aid to leap over a bar, similar to the high jump, but at much greater heights.
		Pole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks, as well as the Cretans and Celts, but with these exceptions there is no record of its ancient practice as a sport.
		Initially, vaulting poles were made from stiff materials such as bamboo or aluminium, until the introduction of flexible vaulting poles made from composites such as fiberglass or carbon fiber.

	Rod (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rod is a unit of length, equal to 11 cubits, 5.0292 metres or 16.5 feet.
		The length is equal to the standardized length of the ox goad used by medieval English ploughmen; fields were measured in acres which were one chain (four rods) by one furlong (in the United Kingdom, ten chains).
		Because the furlong was "One Plough's Furrow Long" and a furrow was the length a plough team was to be driven without resting, the length of the furlong and the acre vary regionally, nominally due to differing soil types.

	HIKING POLES
		Use the fully locked pole as a "ruler" to adjust the length of your second pole.
		Poles are even with the body for moderate upgrades and can be moved in front of the body for steeper inclines.
		The value of the poles during the hiking portion of the trip usually far outweighs the effort necessary to carry them on the technical portion of the climb.

	Canoe Poles - Pole & Paddle Canoe
		Who knows who used the first pole to propel a canoe through shallow water but it's a pretty good bet that it was just a tree cut from the shore or maybe picked up from a driftwood pile or a beaver cutting.
		When the job is done the shoe is removed and the pole discarded or leaned in an obvious spot on the bank to be used by the next party through.
		The other complication, though not a bad one, is that after using a pole for a few days or weeks you kind of form a bond with it and end up taking it home, so you might as well have carried one with you anyway, and saved the initial search.

	Apparatus for composite pole repair - Patent 4918883
		The method involves excavating around the pole, cleaning the surface of the pole, pumping a fumigant into the pole, applying a bonding agent to the clean surface, and then applying strips of a composite fiberglass mat and resin to the pole in a controlled manner until a desired casement thickness has been achieved.
		In order to make this repair, the existing pole must be cut in two, the upper part of the pole supported, and lower part of the pole pulled from the ground prior to the installation of the concrete base, which is driven into the ground.
		The method involves raising the pole vertically until its lower end is clear of the ground so that a replacement for the lower end can be attached, afterwards the pole and the replacement are joined together, after which the pole and stub are lowered vertically into the ground to the required depth.

		It follows then, that with poles of the same length, the tips of the back poles (which are shorter to the point of crossing) will extend further out from the point of crossing than will the tips of the poles in the front of the tipi.
		The most important dimension on a pole is its diameter at the point of crossing - assuming, of course, that it is long enough to reach that point with a little something left to poke out into the sky.

		In pole walking, the rhythm and movements of the arms, legs, hip and body are similar to normal, brisk walk without poles.
		In pole walking, the opposite arms and legs move rhythmically forwards and backwards in alternation just as in normal walking but more efficiently and with wider movements thanks to pole thrusts.
		Pole walking can be practised by professional athletes, keep-fit enthusiasts and those wanting to promote their health; by the elderly, young people and children.

		When using a spinnaker pole on the Genoa (in place of a whisker pole), does is it restricted in length to the race measurements of a spinnaker pole of 8 feet or is it allowed to be the 12 foot length of a whisker pole and then have to have the same thickness?
		The spinnaker pole normally is built as a spinnaker pole, It is J length (8ft) and has bridles for the topping lift and downhaul (foreguy).
		A whisker pole is used to pole out the genoa when going on a broad reach or a run.

	Welcome to Pole Vault Education.org
		As for your vaulting pole, it would probably be a better and safer idea to move to a 12' pole first, instead of going straight to the 13' pole.
		In practice, my left arm is holding on to the pole - but due to lack of strength in guiding the pole - the left arm is pulling the pole to my left side where it lacks the strength to prevent the pole from hitting me in the chest.
		Often times when vaulters "try to bend the pole" it is done at the expense of a good swing which creates momentum at the end of the vault.

		The pole is then incised, or perforated, to proper depth in the groundline area for additional penetration and retention of preservative in this area susceptible to decay.
		The lengths generally range from 60 to 125 feet, and are usually class 1,2,3 or H series poles (see technical data).
		ANSI specifications indicate setting depth is 10% of the pole length plus two feet, a point commonly known as the "groundline." A properly set cedar pole will have at least one foot of the incised groundline area above and two feet below the surface of the soil.

	What Cruising Sailors Need to Know
		Answer: Hi Marc, It seems like the best pole length for square running with a genoa is about.8-.85* the LP of the sail.
		If you intend to use the pole for a gennaker at times, you should opt for a shorter pole length to make it a little easier to handle.
		A pole as short as 100% of the J-dimension will be okay with the gennaker.

		Maximize the distance between the sheet bearing surfaces of the spi pole end fittings by (a) filing/cuting down the end prongs of the fittings, and choosing (relatively) small fittings.
		Also, 1 1/8" diameter poles bend when sailing under spinnaker on a beam/close reach, particularly in heavy air.
		The tapered ends will accommodate small fittings and the pole is strong and lightweight.

		My whisker pole is 130% of the J - and I use it for the spinaker too.

	e3 Ski Poles
		The e3 Grips fitted to the poles may be Blue, Black, Purple, Green, or Gray color subject to availability at the time of your order.
		Ski pole length is not an absolute science - there can be quite a bit of personal preference involved, but should be reasonably close to the length determined by the methods below, or the same as that of your existing poles if that length is "right" for you.
		We fabricate the e3 ski poles to the exact length you specify, but if you are in doubt, be assured that plus or minus an inch of "ideal" isn't fatal (the difference between planting in powder or slush as opposed to planting on ice or hardpack is more than that anyway.)
