Backing Plates


The Judging Standards And Restoration Guidelines describes five different front backing plates and four rear plates. The descriptions are confusing to some, so I've assembled a collection of photos showing the major differences. The arrows are showing the ribbing, or lack, and the shape of the adjusting cone is described. Consult the standards for details on month and year of usage, and for a complete description. Thanks to Phil Mino for some of the photos.
