1902 C&P Oldstyle: Feedboard measurements
Hello! I have been working on opening up my letterpress studio and fixing up my 1902 C&P Oldstyle. I have tried to research feedboard measurements for this press style, but have had no such luck.
I am wanting to build it with my woodworking friend, but I am not sure what the measurements are or how the feedboard works.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
What size is the press? Feedboard size will vary with machine size.

Michael—your shop is dreamy to me!
Glad you liked my shop. My C&P is a 7x11. Sorry I can’t help with the feedboard dimensions for your 10x15.

Someone sent me these dimensions for a C&P 10x15 feedboard set:
Upper (feed) board is 15”x12”;
Lower(delivery) board is 21-1/2” x 12”

Okay Michael! That helps greatly on those dimensions. I have been so busy in this shop and I can’t check here that often. I am going to give that to my wood guy and we will go from there.
Any help on the type of pole that holds up the Upper board?
