1) Comparing the pic with the drawing, in particular looking at the position of the two screws on top, this looks to me as if the photographed plate was heavily cut below the "0" profile. Is that true, and if so, what specific function(s) has the chosen profile?
3) What are the "specs" of the various plates (maybe this will contribute to the decision making for interested novice bombers)
Thanks
Tom

The pic and drawing aren't the same plate. The picture is of a #4 plate which is the most aggressive out there outside of #0. PDR Cam plate HP guide.

I'll say I haven't seen too many commercial plates, however, the pictured plate would be more aggressive than a 100 plate and here's why. Generally when folks make their "100", they grind the main face even with the face of the top plate, just like a "0", but then hook the bottom. The hook on the bottom is what gives it it's hybrid state bewteen a "0" and a "10"...hence "100". The pictured plate clearly is cut deeper than that. So much so, that there isn't much material left around the rivets. Don't let the the shallower portion above that fool you though, as it never sees the gov arm. This plate really doesn't defuel much once off idle. Gov arm travel is usually no more than 3/8 to 7/16 up the plate from point of contact. This also makes adjustment of the plate and gov arm crucial so as not to underdive the plate nose.
Sorry Archer I couldn't answer #3 for ya, but I tried #1.
