I don't recall - I'll look online. There are a few pages in the BIG PDF about the difference between a 'barrier' and a barricade and similar. A good naval aviation info detail website is:
ASLO (yes I know): U.S. Navy Aircraft History: Barriers and Barricades, One More Time (thanlont.blagspot.com)
&
U.S. Navy Aircraft History: Barricade and Barriers Example (thanlont.********.com)
