Abstract

A plurality of pairs of identifying tags are provided. Each pair is made up of two identical tags, with each tag of each pair having a main, elongated, body-portion, preferably made of plastic, such as polyvinylchloride, in which is embedded a thin, elongated strip of flexible, pliable steel wire. In the preferred embodiment, the main, elongated body-portion is formed along a portion of its length with toothed projections which serve in aiding to retain the tag in a hole, when the respective tag is to be used for identifying a hole associated with a mating screw. The embedded steel wire helps to retain the shape of the tag when the tag is bent or wrapped about a workpiece or component being identified. In one embodiment of the invention, the ends of the steel wire project outwardly beyond the ends of the plastic main body-portion, so that the ends of the wire may be twisted together to removably hold tag on the workpiece or component being identified, after the tag has been bent thereabout. The main body-portion has identifying indicia thereon which is the same as that of the other tag of the respective pair of tags, such indicia being a number, letter, color code, or the like. By removably securing the pair of tags to two disassembled workpieces, a repairman will later know which parts are to be re-assembled back together.
