Abstract
A method of coding a high-speed object having a lateral travel path with a multi-digit production series number is disclosed. A first marking member and a second marking member are provided, with the second marking member positioned vertically adjacent the first marking member. A plurality of marking locations are defined and a group of marks are applied along each of the plurality of marking locations. The quantity of marks in each group represents a respective digit of the multi-digit series number.

A method of coding a high-speed object having a lateral travel path with a multi-digit production series number comprising the steps of:
- providing a first marking member and a second making member;
- positioning the first marking member;
- positioning the second marking member proximate the first marking member;
- defining a plurality of marking locations;
- applying a group of generally elongated marks along each of the plurality of marking locations, a quantity of marks in each group representing a respective digit of the multi-digit series number;
- reading the quantity of marks in the group of marks;
- and,
- assigning the respective digit of the multi-digit series number to the quantity of marks in the group of marks.
