diimensional changes
I worked in the research department at Schwinn in the 70's. At one time I had copies of many of the Paramount prints, but the old ammonia based blue prints have long faded away. So I'm going from memory. I believe that the P10/15 were built with 72 deg angles and 1 1/2" of trail on the forks. The P13 was 74 degs and 1 1/4" of trail. I'm pretty sure of the angle measurements, but I'm fuzzy on the fork trail. Both characteristics of steeper angles and less trail will lead to a bike that handles quicker and rides harsher. I'm not at home right know, but I'll try to measure the trail on my P13 and report back.
