> Making several new shafts for Devin's Baker Monitor. It looks like the
> parts are held on the shafts with tapered keys.
> I've done measuring and some math on the tapers and am not coming up
> with the standard 1 in 100 taper or 1/8 per foot.
> Taper works out to as little as .192/ft to as much as .480/ft.
> While difficult to measure on narrow parts (only an inch wide),
> generally I'll be in the ballpark, but this is not even close to standard!
>
> Does anyone know if Baker used nonstandard, steeper tapers in fixing
> hubs and gears to the shafts?
