Removal Marker for Card Index

A marker which is adapted for use in files of various sizes is shown in the illustration. It may be made easily of medium-weight cardboard, cut to the shape shown in the diagram below and bent as indicated. The marker is inserted at a point in the index from which a card or other filed material has been removed. It is of such a size that, when in use, the tab projects only enough to be recognized, and the marker may be left in the drawer so as to be convenient for future use. The sketch shows the marker partly withdrawn. The small projections shown in the diagram are important in that they act as springs when the marker is in use.—John B. Wade, Wellington, Kan.

Gaskets cut from old inner tubes are satisfactory for water connections.
