It is very common to see in specialized websites move from the Art Deco Feather Arrow clip aka Plain Feather/ Plain Arrow clip to Split-Arrow/Split Feather without more detail or step.
Sometimes, somewhere special, we have seen this first clip into two different types as "double arrow" or "simple arrow" as you can see in these images.
I'd like to highlight one more element which I have not seen anything written -I'm just saying that I have not seen it-. This distinctive feature would be the bottom of the feathers of the arrow passing rectangular to trapezoid inverted. UTC. This change in the clip comes at a particular moment in time so it could serves to date the vacs without looking at the date code.
My opinion is that we must distinguish, especially in reference sources, between Feather Plain / Plain Arrow - Rectangular and Feather Plain / Plain Arrow - Trapezoid and their times.
