Lawrence Braymer, the founder and designer of the Questar, adopted M42 as the coupling mount for the telescope in 1952. Questar referred to this as "P Mount" (for Praktica Mount) in contravention to the T-Mounts used by other telescope brands such as Swift and Unitron. (M42 is 42mm by 1mm DIN, while T-Mount is 42mm by 0.75mm DIN.)

There is a lot of good information of this sort available over on the Questar List on Yahoo.
