Steve_Colby New Member Posts: From: Registered:	posted 03-31-2009 05:21 PM There are approx. 10 of these plastic discs in the collection of items from Hal French. They are approx. 1-1/4" and are all numbered the same. Any ideas?

In most Aerospace companies when you sign out a tool from the tool crib a worker would give them one of these and it would record who had the tool. That way if it was not back at the end of the shift they would know who had that tool. Just my thoughts, no specific knowledge on these specific items.

When an electrical panel would need to be de-energized the handle would be pulled down then a lock put through the handle. This tag would have been stayed with the lock to show who had the box locked out. Again, just a guess. Mike Myer Humboldt KS
