We had a question

I There are several means to re-

duce this:

orient the tag parallel to the direction of travel

add a triangle-shaped stiffening piece to the tag lobe

add a wire reinforcement member

have tags made with two pin-thru holes, or glue two tags together end to end. I have glued the tags together with neoprene éement - this cement being flexible 3. :

Despite the fact that it- would seem very simple to cast tags of of one's preferred shape, I feel that there is already a good bit of design value in the present models, particularly with respect to the pin-thru seal

Please advise us if these are satisfactory. and if you would like the matter to be pursued further.

Yours truly,
