ABSTRACT:
The invention is a single thickness metallic notation plate for use in combination with today's plastic cased measuring tapes. During manufacture, the metallic notation plate is pressed into a slightly concave shape. The concave surface is pressed against the tape case surface which ensures that the metal edges snug tightly to the tape perimeter for user-friendly contact. The plate is held in place by factory applied, paper protected adhesives. Notations are erased with a rubber eraser or by moistening the plate and rubbing off with finger pressure. When the plate surface becomes too scratched and unusable, it is stripped off and a new one is applied.
