Taper of Potentiometers

I have always known pots to either have an audio or a linear taper.
I'm looking at a schematic which has numerous pots. Some say they are "W
taper", the others say they are "K Taper". I have not seen them listed
in this way, ever.
What do these letters mean?
Are there other letters used?
Anyone have a chart that shows and explains them?
Thanks
(This schematic is for an early 1990's era semiconductor preamp, using
op-amps, and transistors).
I had a go at rewinding a wire-wound log pot one time, it survived a
year and then something went wrong.
3 sections of former, like a large saw blade with 3 teeth stretched out,
bent into a ring. Each section had a different gauge of wire.
The wiper ran around the non-toothed edge of the "saw".
