Dave - There are several tapers floating around for the Perfectionist - 
one is a .275 butt and the other is .285 - the version that i obviously 
prefer is the following:


0    .070
5    .081
10    .094
15    .115
20    .134
25    .146
30    .155
35    .170
40    .192   
45    .203
50    .214
55    .225
60    .238
65    .247
70    .258
75    .268
80    .275
85    .275
90    .275

I suspect that all makers altered their tapers for special clients or 
that there were milling errors that made it out the door - but it seems 
that perhaps there was more experimentation that came from the Young 
shop - a special example of this is the mysterious Para 14 - the story 
was that the morning Paul died he was going to meet up with Ernie 
Schweibert and finalize which length the rod was to be - today it is 
offered as a 7' 9" version but Chauncey Lively - who lived many years in 
the Grayling area - had a 7' 6" version - another even deeper mystery is 
the Para 13 - of which I only know of one in existance - it too was a 7' 
9" example
