    Manual and Parts List for the C&P Pilot
    February 13, 2008

    We came across this scan of the original operating instructions and parts list for the Chandler & Price Pilot Press (New Style). While the Pilot and other tabletop presses are simple in design and operation as compared to other presses, the manual can be helpful is you are looking for missing parts or trying to assemble/disassemble the press.

    The manual contains detailed instructions on the assembly of the Pilot and also how to set the press up to print. In addition, there are also several detailed schematics of the press that label every part with an identification number and name.

    If you’ve got a Pilot, good luck with it, its a great machine! Even if you don’t have a Pilot, the manual is an interesting read.
