> Should have added the following description to the radial plate link
The currently available radial plates are mechanically flawed. Now, if
someone designed a radial plate that allows use of 2-hole lugs, perhaps
that too would meet today's lax novelty test. The plate could support use
of either single, or 2-hole lugs like these:

The 2-hole lugs: (1) effectively double lug to plate conductivity; and (2)
prevent the lug from spinning and loosening on its mounting bolt when
accidental lateral pressure is applied. There, that's enough to start the
first claim. Any takers :-)
