I do this on the hot spade on power cord plugs.  After I have gone
through a piece of equipment and overhauled it, if the power cord is
good and not a three prong, I find out which blade on the plug goes
directly to the on/off switch and I use a marker to put a small H on
it so I know that blade goes into the hot slot on the outlet.

Years later when I fish some item out of my pile of junk I can look at
the power cord plug and if I see that H on it, I know I've already
gone through it and I can plug it in and use it.
