Comparison of the C&P & Craftsmen Pilots

Comparison of the C&P New Series Pilot and the Aluminum Pilot made for Craftsmen Machinery Company in Canada. The obvious difference is in the side frame; C&P base has bolt holes inside of the frame, while the Craftsmen clone has tabs for mounting bolts outside of the frame. Other parts differ slightly, but most parts are interchangeable. Hard to see is the major difference in the platen mounting and adjustment bolts; Crafts used a single thread pattern bolt, while C&P used a complicated double-threaded bolt.
