Ok guys please don't be shy. 15 Views and only 2 Votes so far. This is important! (Ha ha... To me at least!)

There is no wrong answer!
 
To me that is the base plate. It's basically the same piece that we call a base plate on a non-adjustable. it just has the slots enlarged for the other piece that I call the adjuster plate.
 
Hi,

Baseplate, which comes from all those non-adjustable razors. ;)

Hey Stan, Did you notice I included "Butterfly Door" as an alternate name for "Silo Door" on the Version 3 of the Terminology photo/chart/guide? Thanks for that input!
 
Hi,

I was just looking that over when an alert popped up for this thread. ;)

I think some parts will wind up with more than one name like this.

Bed plate. I got out one of my Gillette adjustables to take a closer look and I'm standing by my answer of Bottom Plate for Part 1, but I'm deleting my comments.
 
I asked the other engineers in my department and we all agree: Base Plate. My vote should count three times.
