porper model 2000

I have been looking at the pics of the model 2000 lathe porper lathe. I can see how the straight taper works, but, I cant see how you taper a shaft. Can someone explain how it works on the porper.
Thanks

There are two separate channels on the underneath side of the taper bar. In one channel, the bearing rides in a straight taper. In the other channel, the bearing rides in a shaft taper that is machined to about a 12" pro taper. It takes about 2 minutes to change from one taper to the other.

so, The shaft profile taper set up is fixed, it cant be adjusted, as is with the cue man taper bar?

The shaft taper profile is fixed but can be adjusted in or out at the tip end.
