Re: Bar Coding of Pole Vault Poles
Dear Pole Vault Community
Since the Fall of 2003, Gill Athletics, Inc. barcodes production pole vault poles. This embedded code lists the model number and the poles unique serial number. This allows us to have a tamper resistant record for every pole we build.
For the official or coach that needs to check or verify information, the following is how to read or use the bar code information:
The top number is the model number and would match those found in the Gill Catalog or web site. Briefly here is the model number: 741573 --- 7 is designator for all Pacer Poles, 415 is length (metric) or 13’6â€Â
