Let $f_s$ and $f_t$ be tent maps on the unit interval. In this paper we give a new proof of the fact that if the critical points of $f_s$ and $f_t$ are periodic and the inverse limit spaces $(I,f_s)$ and $(I,f_t)$ are homeomorphic, then s = t. This theorem was first proved by Kailhofer. The new proof in this paper simplifies the proof of Kailhofer. Using the techniques of the paper we are also able to identify certain isotopies between homeomorphisms on the inverse limit space.

We show that the Bruschlinsky group with the winding order is a homomorphism invariant for a class of one-dimensional inverse limit spaces. In particular we show that if a presentation of an inverse limit space satisfies the Simplicity Condition, then the Bruschlinsky group with the winding order of the inverse limit space is a dimension group and is a quotient of the dimension group with the standard order of the adjacency matrices associated with the presentation.
