I find it fascinating how such a simple piece of kit as a tent pole can end up with some complex and intricate engineering and design.
I have two examples in my collection, the orange one I have two of and will willingly part with FYI The orange one has a date of 1973 on it but when it first came into service or went out I dont know. The pole has a cap that unthreads and then sections deploy with a bayonet lug internally holding each section up and final height setting is with a cross pin at the bottom which mine is missing. The spike on the top has a cross drilled hole for what I am not sure, maybe a washer and R clip. The bottom has a dimple and I am sure there was a base plate but I do not have one. It is from an era when all snow kit was orange for finding in the snow
