That's a good one, I have not seen it before. Nor have I seen anything like that massive electric chainsaw. And how about that bark shedding at just after 19 minutes!!!

I'd love dropping off my saw at night and in the morning it's sharp, gassed, and tuned.

They had a light bar on it too. Ahead of their time with it being both electric, and light... well trying to be light. Next step in my opinion would be to make the generator backpack wearable. It would be interesting to know what the limits of chainsaw power and weight were with 1940's tech. Was rpm limited by oil quality? How did they determine how much oil was needed (8:1, 10:1, 16:1)? Why did they need gear drives? Was a lack of ignition timing advance a big factor in peak power? McCulloch did a lot of experimenting and research, but many of their saws were turds in comparison with Husqy and Stihl 30 years ago as far as I know. I also know that as loud as they already were, with a few mods, they could run as well as a modern saw, just heavier.
