A couple of mm shorter in the tip otherwise the same needle. Sort of like a 15x1 and 206x13. The Singer needle system never made a 20x1 Rotary or Eldredge Rotary just a 20x1 that covers National, New Home, White and other VS machines. The Boye needle system has several variations on the 20x1, perhaps 6 or so. The VS machines aren't fussy. My 1909 Singer Interchangeable Needle List recommends a 127x1 for use in Eldredge Rotary---very interesting. Personally I'd look for Eldredge Rotary, Boye 21, DD or DD1221.
