 This has been an extremely interesting thread, folks! Thanks
 to Wayne, George, Jim et al for the discussion. But the size
 of the Perseid radiant in particular was a real surprise to
 me: obviously, this is a VERY well-studied stream, so radiant
 spread is clearly due to a wide diversity of orbital elements
 among the stream particles themselves as opposed to errors or
 uncertainties in measurement.
 
 So why DO the PERs have such spread in orbital elements??

Is your question "Why the diameter of the Perseid radiant? or "Why a somewhat 
uniform spread of perseid particles along the orbit of the perseid stream? or 
something else?
