Re rod taper - TSmithwick

Gary - The following taper was taken from a varnished 8013. I deducted .005
for the varnish. It looked fairly thin. If you know something different about
Dickerson's typical varnsh coat, make the appropriate adjustment.
Measurements under the handle are obviously estimates.
0- .074
5- .082
10-.095
15-.114
20-.129
25-.145
30-.160
35-.170
40-.180
45-.189
50-.215
55-.232
60-.251
65-.272
70-.293
75-.304
80-.318
85-.344
90-.375
95-.375
My notes show actual readings to the 85" mark. The .375 estimates come from
my understanding that Dickerson used this as a standard butt measurement.
Hope this helps. -- Tom
