"ALWAYS" to me, means zero taper. What does it mean to you, Reg?

==============================

There's no such thing as a perfect coil. All coils have stray capacitance
and resistance. Consequently, it's exeedingly unlikely the current at one
end is equal to the current flowing at the other end. The current flows out
of the coil via the stray capacitance to its enironment. So we don't just
have I1+I2 - we have I1+I2+I3 to contend with, where I3 is distributed
along the length of the coil.

Not that anybody in his right mind would ever wish to know the magnitude of
the taper of the current or volts. Seems to be an invention of the denizens
of this newsgroup, most of whom seem to have lost theirs.

Now, Cecil, you understand this as well as I do. Cease pulling my leg. So
don't expect me to waste any more of my time discussing it. ;o)
