Narrative:
I was preparing the 8130-3's d-tags for wheels and brakes and noticed that many of them were not matching -- the description (nosewheel/main wheel) and the part numbers. I was preparing these for scanning and I informed my supervisor, who told me that they hadn't been checking to see if everything was correct, but if I found anymore, just to put them on her desk. All the FAA required serviceable parts tags have been 'prepped,' and some have already been scanned. Apart from the ones I found, no others have been pulled, and there may be more.
