A piece of steel flattened or extended to an even surface, and of uniform thickness; such plates are used as armor for the sides of warships, being much improved on by the addition of nickel in our modern cruisers: a plate of polished steel on which a design is engraved for the purpose of transferring it to paper by impressing or printing: the impression or print taken from the engraved plate.
