Here is a picture. Let me know if that doesn't fall within the definition of a tapered bearing.

"SAE 0.00039-0.00078 inches"
Who on this forum.... or even anyone anyone knows.... owns a micrometer that will measure into the HUNDRED THOUSANDTHS ??????? Those are usually locked in the toolroom and used to measure the other mics actually used by the mechanics...
.. something seems askew...either what they expect of the mechanic ... or the conversion factors used .....( by someone somewhere ).
Rounded off, that is .0004-.0008 inches. Which amounts to 40% to 80% needle deflection of one increment on the typical .001 increment on a dial indicator. Not unreasonable to visualize at all. For that matter, a deflection of half an increment is within tolerance.
