What do "Item" and "Tag No." mean?
(OP)
Hi,
I'm translating English text from dimensional drawing of mechanical level switch into Russian (I'm Russian). There are cells "Customer", "Cust. Ref.", "Our Ref.", "Item", "Quantity", "Model" and "Tag No." in the drawing. What do "Item" and "Tag No." mean in this context?
Thanks.

of the part like bearing, washer, or whatever
and the tag no would be the serial or model number
which might be attached separately but also on
the part as well. Sometime the part cannot be
on the part and a tag will be attached to quickly
identify the parts for inventory purposes.
Best guess.

Tag = Lable

Tag No. = Lable description such as "Switch 20"

As you can see, the possibilities are numerous. I've been in you situations before, and the best thing to do, in my opinion, is contact the drawing's originator or company and find out what the standard callouts were at the time the drawing was created. It would be a shame to translate the drawing wrong. Most people would rather have questions asked and things done right than assumptions that may lead to something wrong.

Item number usually refers to the product number of the manufacturer. This is different from a serial number which identifies a particular product to manufacturer work order.

Tag numbers are often placed on pressure equipment to identify them within the plant, the tag number following some form of hierarchical format.
Item numbers can relate to purchase order line number, serial numbers, inventory numbers, if you are supplying as second or third tier the item numbers can relate to a number added by somebody else up the scale.
As has been mentioned, if you are in any doubt ask somebody.
