## About this plate

THE RED-FRAMED TRADE PLATE (回送運行許可番号標), issued to dealers and transporters against a 回送運行許可証 so that unregistered vehicles can be moved. It is the plate most often confused with the temporary-operation plate, and the instrument separates them cleanly: a red FRAME here (Form No. 5 remark (3)) against a red DIAGONAL there (Form No. 3 remark (4)).
