In response to several requests for this taper I am listing the specs here.
I recorded these measurements in the 70's, before Garrison popularized 5 "
centres, hence these are taken at 6" centres.  Measurements are over
varnish, so subtract .004"-.005". The rod is a very full flexing, slow
action, and works best when you relax and wait for it to work.
