Hi Scott,

I went back to your original posting after pondering how your
question:
How can I calculate a taper correction for a loaded element?
wanders through several topics - such as above.

Taper and stepped diameter are not the same thing, although
tangentially related and asking for "how to calculate" jumps the
tracks entirely.

How about stripping out the extraneous details and simply describing
what your problem is?
