The plumber hinge is mounted on the front of the drop arm. Downforce from the body presses down both the guide and the plumber crossbar.
On acceleration, the front wheels can lift to disipate torque, without lifting the guide flag. The resulting weight shift presses the rear tires down for better traction.

Original tag and plastic bag.
