Walt, having seen your Cullmann tripod modifications in the past, I have
looked over this side of the pond for the Cullmann products, and the QR
plates in particular. Despite them being German, they don't seem to have a
strong presence.
Would you take a look at this item and opine, is it the QR plate you
recommend?

Thanks very much! And, by the way, if it *is* the right one, it looks like
there is an anti-twist plate available
For the benefit of those who drive on the wrong side of the road, it's an
extract from the Speedgraphic catalogue (and the prices are in GBP). No,
that is not a misprint for "Speed Graphic", but I am sure it is not a
coincidental choice of name.

plate system
The top side of the QR plate is rubber, with lots of little nubby thingies
which grip like a good tire/tyre*. I tighten 'em up securely with a two-bit
piece, a nickel, a key, or whatever is handy that fits the screw head, and
have had problems with slippage only with really heavy stuff when I didn't
apply the appropriate torque. Honestly, it's not a problem.
