The long taper was used until March 1930, and it used a ball bearing on the rear. The short taper was used on March 1930 to the end of production, and it used a bushing on the rear, which meant a difference in the rear of the shaft.

There were a few generators with the long taper and rear bushing during the change over period of March 1930. I'll see if I can find my picture of the 3 different armatures.
