Subject: Terminology Question



Okay, I know some of you remember the long poles that used to be in every schoolroom to open and shut those tall windows. Does anyone have a name for the things? I’m drawing a blank in Nomenclature.



 



And while we’re at it, how about those poles with clasps on the end for bringing things down from high shelves?
