CAM HELP NEEDED!

companies do things I don’t always understand and wonder why they supply what is ether a lot of info or not a lot of info.

Why they do what they do is a mystery to me.
Hughes cams does this on all their cams for what I thought was proprietary reasons. Comp cams just seemed to do this on their roller cams.
When I check for dcr or vp on wallace to compare cams I just guess and add 20 to the .050 number. Not sure that is right
