A treasury tag or India tag is an item of stationery used to fasten sheets of paper together or to a folder. In His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO), a treasury tag was a lace with a sharp metal tag at one end which could be threaded through the holes in a stack of documents or cards and then inserted into a female tag at the other end to form a loop, so binding the documents. The tags in that case were in line with the string, like a shoelace. An India tag was similar but the metal tags were orthogonal to the string, so forming a cross-piece. The India tag did not form a loop as the cross-pieces were sufficiently wide that they did not slip back through the holes. In current British usage, ''treasury tag'' refers to a tag with orthogonal cross-pieces, previously known as an ''India tag''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/visit/document-handling.htm ) Text states "Files consist of loose sheets held together in one corner by a treasury tag.", image clearly shows orthogonal cross-pieces.〕 The cross-pieces may be of metal or of plastic, and the string may be elasticated.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.inkandstuff.co.uk/ink/desktop-accessories/treasury-tags/default.php/cPath/2965_3126?osCsid=1fd2bdb6e8a47dcb1f7402b0770773fc ) ''Office supplier's catalogue showing metal and plastic cross-pieces''〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=ND180317&pr=Q29 ) ''Office supplier's catalogue showing elasticated tags''〕 Treasury or India tags are threaded through holes in paper or card made with a hole punch or lawyer's bodkin. Strings of various lengths are used to fasten stacks of paper of corresponding thickness and these are sometimes colour-coded by size. Winston Churchill used treasury tags to hold the notes for his speeches together. He called the punch for making holes a "clop", after the sound that it made. The Duchess of Windsor used India tags for her speeches. In 2015, a new version made from injection moulded polypropylene was launched in the United Kingdom at the London Stationery Show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://exhibitors.stationeryshow.co.uk/user/150#profile-exhibitor ) Text states: "Launching in 2015, the T-Tag is a modern version of the classic treasury tag..."〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.t-tagdirect.com ) ''Supplier's website showing injection moulded polypropylene treasury tags''〕 The manufacturer claims they are the improved alternative to metal, plastic-ended and elastic treasury tags.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.t-tagdirect.com ) Text states: "...T-Tag Treasury Tags are the improved alternative to metal, plastic-ended and elastic treasury tags."〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Treasury tag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
