NOTE-Shipments of shafts or shafting without cams, couplings or fittings, when greased or freshly painted, must be in boxes, crates or drums, or completely wrapped in burlap, or wrapped at center and near ends (ends may be exposed) with burlap 8 inches wide or over. Bundles must be wired and burlap secured in 3 or more places by annealed wire, 12 gauge or thicker. Two metal tags or tags in metal holders, or tags with eyelets reinforced by metal, plainly, legibly and durably addressed, must be wired to each bundle or loose piece, one attached outside the bundle or piece, the other placed within the burlap and secured by the wire. When tags other than metal are used on bundles or loose pieces, shellac, silicate of soda or other transparent greaseproof coating should be applied over the marks thereon.
