Feature Article: Windsock
The word sock is from the colloquial French meaning close
in or conceal. When an airport was `socked in' the windsock was
taken down and its removal meant that the airport was closed.
The first lighted windsock was offered by the Heath Company in
its 1928 catalogue. Wind socks come in various sized determined
by the amount of wind required to fully extend it.
