JOBU SENIOR 1948 (Johnsen, Busk).

2011-10-25T06:00:00.001-07:00

This is the first saw made by JO-BU A/S MEKANISKE VERKSTED in Norway 1948.
Saw can be started the normal way but for utilisation the cylinder needed to be face down or saw upside down. The carburetor and gas tank assembly is mounted on a swivel pivot and would rotate to position the saw for the proper angle cut.
This is a rare saw with a limited production of around 7,000 units. How many are survivals up to this day ???? We don't see them to often for sure.

Special note: This saw has the chain installed reverse since it needed to be tilted upside down for operation. For carry easy there are provision for shoulder belts attachment for carrying the saw like a back pack.

MALL 6... 2 MAN SAW.(ARTHUR MALL).

2011-10-25T05:19:00.001-07:00

Thanks to "Bill" that i met in Montreal...on it's way to the casino.. :)
HISTORY:This Model 6, manufactured by the Mall Tool Company of Chicago in 1945, developed 8 hp. It has a 36 inch bar, although bars of other lengths were available. Since you couldn't plunge cut with the tip of the bar with the handle for the second man attached, you needed a bar as least as long as the tree was wide. With many saws of this early type, the bar could be set to cut either horizontally or vertically, but not at an angle. One way to cut an undercut was to saw two horizontal cuts, then chip out the wood between with the adze side of a Pulaski tool, or else make one horizontal cut and chop the rest with an ax.

The invention of the pulaski is widely credited to ED PULASKI in 1911. The pulaski came into wide use by the Forest Service after 1913, and in 1920 the Forest Service began contracting for the tool to be commercially manufactured.

Thank you Diane Mall for providing information about your father history. Pictures below are just samples of what will be preserved forever in the museum along with the biography and numerous pictures of your family.
Testimony:
I have an old bio of my father......written in the late 40's.....I believe.
Would you like a copy of it? Also I have brochures/instructions for many tools.
I have lots of pictures but don't recall any of him in the plant. I think I remember one of him giving a speech somewhere.....I'll look.
He loved cameras and I don't lack pictures of our family as I grew up!
I remember the plant in Chicago and the one in Crete. I even remember his phone number.....bayport 1,8800. He called it everyday from home.
He was a wonderful father. Like a grandpa and Santa all in one.
Sincerely,
Diane Mall

MCCULLOCH BP1 (BALANCED-PISTON).

2011-10-25T04:57:00.000-07:00

Worlds only Balanced Piston engine chain saw.Saw was sold for a very short period of time and then withdrawn from the market.
The BP1 saw was 20 years ahead of it's time .It had a dual piston desing for balancing and porting of the engine. It would run WOT 12,000 RPM and a failure in the governor assembly could result in an engine burst and injury to the operator. McCulloch recalled all the saws and they were destroyed. There is only a few that did survive.This is one of them very rare saw.

The Technical: Not too many have seen the internals of this saw...some pictures will help you understand the design.

Very light and innovative saw.... but sales were not what the inventor Mr. Wiig had hoped for, so, he took his idea to Sweden to a company called Como... M.T.Bjerke would build the Comet in Sweden. This occurred around 1950. The Swedish Comet was called model B. Swedish production of the model B Comet is approximately 1,000 between 1950 through 1953. Very light saw, 32oz would make her run for 1 1/2 hr....It is a 2 cycle engine that uses an injector type of carburetion system. The glow plug called a tandror works using propane gaz under pressure inside the handle assembly.

DOLMAR SACH/WANKEL/ROTARY KMS4 (Duplicate)...

2011-10-25T04:47:00.001-07:00

SAW HISTORY:
How I found this chainsaw

I was at my friends house working on some car repairs... when his father placed some old items outside the garage along with some trash. I saw a small air compressor, weedwacker, and a chainsaw. I asked if I cold have these items and took them all away for free. All three turned out to work and run fine... I was cutting wood with the chainsaw until my Dad told me it was something special... and to stop using it. The chainsaw turned out to be a Dolmar model KMS-4. We looked for a collector and found Alain. Glad to see it saved.
Dillon, Kingston NH. USA

THE "DOLMAR NAME" Found on the Dolmar web site:
Emil Lerp was a modern, forward-looking entrepreneur who knew how to motivate his staff. He organised an internal competition and asked the contestants to come up with a name for his saw. It had to be simple, sound good and easy to pronounce in many languages. It was Emil Lerp’s own wife, Martha, of all people, who was the winner with her suggestion to call the saw DOLMAR. This was because the petrol chain saw of 1927 was used for the first time on top of Dolmar Mountain in Thuringia, which reaches an altitude of 739 metres. Emil Lerp was also a native of Thuringia and Dolmar Mountain was a holiday spot that his family would often frequent.

Our company was named after Dolmar Mountain in Thuringia, which reaches an altitude of 739 m. This is where the first petrol chain saw model A of 1927 was used for the first time.

MERCURY KIEKHAEFER/DISSTON DA 211

2011-10-25T04:38:00.001-07:00

Saw history:
Coming from my husband's grandfather he was emotionally attached and is very happy it is going to your museum.
This saw belonged to Ralph Leibensperger of Columbus, Ohio. Ralph was a general contractor and used the saw in some of his projects. Upon his death in 1983 it was given to his grandson Bill Heizer, of Columbus, Ohio whom at that time heated his home with wood. Bill and his family moved to Mount Vernon, Ohio. He had the ignition rebuilt and started it a few time but had no use for such a LARGE saw. Subsequently it was sold to the chainsaw museum in Quebec, Canada. Bill was very happy to have the museum purchase the saw because he knew it would be appreciated for its history and as a piece of well-built machinery with a practical value. Thanks, Luann.

Birth: Jun. 4, 1906, USA

COX 140

2011-10-25T04:07:00.000-07:00

A rare find with cooperation of the COX family...this piece of history preserved forever in the museum. Partial history provided by Robert Cox, below in regards of the saw history and prototype.

History:
To Robert Cox:
I have been searching for a photo of Joe Cox or Joseph Buford Cox, developer of the modern chipper cutter tooth in the 1940s and have come up empty handed. Any chance you know if a photo of Mr Cox exists? Is he a relative of your family by chance???????? I know that Leroy was your great uncle (Cox chainsaw) ........Looking also for some old movie footage from the 1940s or 1950s of one of those vintage chainsaws cutting or bucking.
Reply from Rob:
Joe Cox was my great grandfather. The Cox 140 saw you acquired was given to my grandfather by Roy his brother, the letters A.W.Cox stand for Alvin Willard (Dick) as people around the plant knew him. My grandfather designed it and Roy machined it for the application.
As for the Cox boys there were 4 of them Roy, Alvin, Oliver and Robert along with 1 sister Lillian.
I do have a lot of other things that are not produced items by Cox but passions of Roy's like his paintings.
The Cox chainsaw in the museum, has my grandfathers name engraved in it with his id number, will help in authentication of it as it was never sold but it was given to him by Roy himself and also used by Roy at times, In storage for decades,it is not running at the monent but all parts are there and in good condition. The paperwork I have for it is: The illustrated parts list and assembly guide, the instructions for bar and chain installation, Cox service directory, the Oregon saw chain catalogue and maintenance manual and the original picture of the prototype handle.
You should not have to many problems in the restoration, my grandfather drained the gas and oil before storage. With the chainsaw I will be providing all paperwork and service manuals that it came with in their entirety in a1 condition and the original picture of the prototype handle.
I have the original machined prototype handle as my grandfather helped in the designing of that portion of the chainsaw. Everyone that would be able to give me any other information on this subject has unfortunately passed away.

PIONEER P35 (rare ghost saw)..

2011-08-27T06:54:00.002-07:00

PIONEER P35
THE “ OMC “ company…. A quick travel in time:

The Evinrude Motor Company was created in 1910.( Ole Evinrude)……

Friction between the partners forced Evinrude to sell his share to his backer in 1914and depart, after signing a guarantee restricting him from the outboard motor industry for five years.

By 1921 Evinrude was back in business, in a venture he called the ELTO Outboard Motor Company.

The company continued without him, becoming a subsidiary of the gasoline-engine manufacturer Briggs & Stratton Corporation in 1926.

A new engine in 1928 restored the ELTO Company, whose annual net profit rose to $300,000. Evinrude merged ELTO with Briggs & Stratton the following year, becoming president of the brand-new Outboard Motors Corporation.

Ralph Evinrude , succeeded to the company presidency after his father's death in 1934.
In 1935, the Outboard Motors Corporation bought the Johnson Motor Company.

In the early 1940s, Outboard's facilities were all converted to the production of war materials.

In 1956, the company changed its name to Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC).

In 1956, Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) the same year, OMC purchased Industrial Engineering, Canada's largest chain-saw manufacturer, for C$2.55 million plus 40,000 shares. OMC moved this new subsidiary to Peterborough, Ontario, and changed its name to Pioneer Chain Saws Ltd.

In 1977, OMC ceased producing chain saws and closed the Pioneer division.

In 1978 former employees of IEL took over and re-started the Pioneer company.

In 1982 running out of funds and good management Pioneer was sold in 1983 to Electrolux/Emab.

In 1983 Electrolux/Emab and their Partner division merged to rename the company Partner/Pioneer.

In 1988 the Peterborough, Ontario plant closed, taken over by Poulan and was moved To Shevreport Louisiana, USA.

Where are the unacounted saws....they could simply have dissapeared on a trip to the dump and are lost forever....fortunately this one was saved and survived.

The rumor: When they built a new runway at the Peterborough airport they buried all but six saws when they canceled the project the Peterborough plant shut down when Electrolux bought Pioneer and they moved the plants contents to the Poulan weedeater plant in huron park Ontario.

COMMENTS: New vertical cylinder design undergoing testing when Pioneer closed down and were taken over by Electrolux
Technical study in progres.

History of the saw:
A former Pioneer employee in Peterborough gave the saw to a painting contractor who used it a couple of years and having no further need for the saw, it was given to her sister (Mrs Darlene......)from Chelsea,Quebec,Canada that lived in the country and cut her own stove wood with it. At one time (1988)the saw broke and was send for repair. Since 1988 it stayed in the shop unable to be serviced because of the non existing parts to fix it. The P35 sat on a shelf for 20 years in the dust to be unrevealed and acquired by myself as a unique piece of history of the former Pioneer company.
To this day(June2009)only 5 saws have been accounted for...one rest in Mike Acres collection and the second one in my museum.....saved to be preserved.....The other 4 saws have probably disappeared in a burial site and are gone forever...The very last Pioneers saw ever made in 1977.

China has already started to make reproduction (fake copies) and marketing of those saws including other brands such as Stihl,Huskvarna and more well known models.

MANUFACTURED BY: DRUZBA RUSSIA
Technical under investigation.

Bar has spring loaded tip. Transmission swivels for felling.
Hydraulic wedge felling assist powered by saw engine was availlable as an option to guide the directionnal fell of the tree..

The recoil unit was twisted clockwise on the flywheel casting and once the saw was started it could be removed for a lighter operation.

CANADIAN SMART'S(Fleetwood):CANADA FOUNDRIES AND FORGINGS,LIMITED,
BROCKVILLE ONTARIO,CANADA (James Smart Manufacturing Co.)

History by Tom Hawkins:
There is no connection between the Fleetwood saws produced by Baystate Equipment and the Titan brand saws. However Baystate's Fleetwood model:200 was sold by Smart's in Canada.
Note the model:200 was strickly a bucking saw only, the model:400 was their all position saw, it had a swivel type carburetor for felling purposes.
FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) was the parent company of Bolens.
In 1956 FMC purchased the Fleetwood brand from Baystate Equipment and began making Fleetwood saws in 1957, they were the same as the Bolens saws just different paint.
In 1957 Draper Industries purchased Titan Chain Saw Company, but they only wanted Titan's bar and chain division. Draper then sold Titan's saw division to FMC, also in 1957.
FMC then produced their own saws, making three lines all based around the Titan model:50. FMC made the seven model Bolens brand, the seven model Fleetwood brand, and the eight model Titan brand. But they were the same saws from brand to brand just different paint. FMC did offer a newer version of the Titan model:75, now relabeled as the model:85, but only as a Titan.
It appears that FMC discontinued the Fleet brand around 1959, the Titan's disappeared after 1960 and Bolens chain saw production halted after the 1962 run.

BEBO(Sweden),ancester of the Hornet canadian saw..

2011-05-30T13:12:00.000-07:00

ANCESTOR OF THE PARTNER C6 SWEDISH SAW.
Personal saw history:
This saw has not runned the last 20 years....as far as i know....It belonged to my wife's grangfather at the time and have no needs for it.It just takes up space in the garage now and is in the way....a donation to the museum,thanks to Mvh Leif...JARVO CITY SWEDEN.

A RARE FIND..The first chainsaw manufactured in Sweden.

The company, later to be purchased and became the Partner AB MOLNDAL, SWEDEN. This saw is linked to DJ Smith who founded the Hornet Industries Ltd. Upon one of his business exchange trip to Europe where he also met with Andreas Stihl, The founder of "STIHL" chainsaws. Prior to WWII Smith had signed contracts with the German government that included the purchase of Stihl chain saws in exchange for Canadian lumber. Germany did not want Canadian currency. Mr Smith had been doing field modifications to the saws including a dual oil and gas tank and a simpler helper handle. They copied the German chain and made their own bars. When the war broke out in 1939 and he could no longer get chain saws he used the Stihls as patterns and produced his own saws which he sold until 1941 then sold the rights to Reed Prentice. They held the rights for two years and sold them back to the factory contingent that formed Industrial Engineering Limited in 1943. IEL....Well!!!!! (THAT'S ANOTHER STORY COVERED WITHIN THE IEL COMPANY HISTORY).
The Be-Bo was a Swedish copy and was introduced in 1948. I am not sure who was first, but they have the same style. I have been told that Gustav Holm imported Hornet and then made Be-Bo, but the time frames are not correct. The Mobilco Be-Bo was made here and rebaged to be sold in Australia. MARSHALL TROVER,

SOME ENGINES ARE USING REED-VALVES LIKE SHOWN HERE, OTHER ONES WOULD USE ROTARY VALVES ATTACHED TO THE CRANKSHAFT AND FINALLY THE PISTON PORTED SYSTEM,THAT USES A LONGER PISTON SKIRT WITH A SQUARE OPENING AT THE PISTON BASE, TO ACT AS A GATE VALVE TO LET THE FUEL ENTER THE ENGINE BASE TO BE COMPRESSED.
WHEN LOOKING AT THE ANIMATION YOU CAN SEE THAT A LOT OF EXHAUST GASES ARE NOT BEING BURNED PROPERLY, THUS GENERATING POLLUTION, SMOKE AND DAMAGE TO ENVIRONMENT.

The only other brands that I am aware would be the WARDS and the John-Deere91 chainsaws which had an electric start in 1974.with a remote battery pack and charger....based on a re-badge Remington 'mighty mite' chainsaw.
Up to this day due to the high maintenance on a technology that was not reliable, this feature has been replaced by the "easy-arc" system and the 'decompression valve" seen on many saws.

DOLMAR SACH/WANKEL ROTARY KMS4.

2010-10-29T02:28:00.000-07:00

ONE AND ONLY SAW WORLDWIDE USING A WANKEL ROTARY ENGINE.

SAW HISTORY:
My Grand dads name was Thelma James Edwards of Roanoke, TX.He was the sort of the man that was very much intrigued with German engineering and technology. He was an avid gardener and would try out any new innovation or technique to come along. He saw those advertised in one of his gardening/seed catalogs if memory serves me correctly. The price back in the early 70's was around $600 which at that time was an outrageous amount for a chainsaw but he had to have it. After running the saw for a time he realized that it wasn't very well suited for the chores he would use a saw for (trimming, small tree falling and such). He shelved it shortly thereafter. I acquired the saw some time around 1980 or so. Being a hefty boy I used it quite a bit but it is and was a beast to be lugging around the field and all. It is great if you need to cross cut some logs which are already been "rounded" up and placed.

I put it up sometime in the late 80's and had pretty much forgotten about it till a couple of months ago. After cleaning the shop one day I was feeling a little nostalgic and decided to put some 50-1 in it a give it a twist. The saw cranked after 10 pulls or so but would starve for fuel after 10 seconds or so. I tore it down and discovered that the fuel system was varnished up and needed a thorough going thru. I ordered a carb rebuild kit. After refueling it- it cranked on about the 5th pull and runs on high speed well. Hope ya'll cherish the saw.....Eric

Hello sir
I just viewed the video of your Hornet. My great Grandfather D.J. (Don) Smith was the founder of Hornet. I have been searching for info on saws or parts or anything I can find to keep the stories alive for my kids. Also my Brother and I have been looking for saws for sale. We would like to have one in the family. If you have any information that would help us please let me know..................

RESTORATION IN PROGRESS.............
HISTORY BY ANN ALLEN(DAUGHTER)
OWNER OF THE SAW WAS JOSEPH LEO MARR FROM MOOSE RIVER,RR5, NEW GLASGOW,PICTOU CO, NOVA-SCOTIA. BORN IN 1905 AND PASSED AWAY IN 1992. THE OWNER OPERATED THE SAW FOR HIS OWN USE ON HIS FARM TO SUPPLY FIREWOOD FOR HIS WOOD STOVE AND WOOD BURNING FURNACE IN THE HOME.
HE CUT AND SPLIT THE FIREWOOD AND CORDED IT ALL BY HIMSELF AND WAS VERY PROUD OF HIS WOODPILES. THE SAW WAS ALSO USED TO CUT PULPWOOD AND LOGS TO SELL. AS HE GREW OLDER HE BOUGHT A LIGHTER POWERSAW EASIER TO HANDLE.
HE WORKED IN THE WOODS CUTTING LOGS FROM A VERY EARLY AGE.
WORKING HARD ALL HIS LIFE HE USED THE PICTURED CROSSCUT SAW UNTIL HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST POWERSAW.....THANK YOU ANN,

TITAN ER.

2010-04-27T07:31:00.000-07:00

Recent acquisition...a challenge on the workbench!!!!!!!
Predecessor of the BLUESTREAK

History by Marshall Trover:
The ER was made in Seattle, Washington on 4th and Lander. Mill and Mine Supply had a foundry and machine shop there and produced logging and mining supplies plus marketed others tools in a large catalog. The ER was a model E Titan revised with better cylinders and a cast gas and oil tank instead of a round steel tank. It was two simultaneous firing apposed cylinders and used the same internals as some Neptune outboards with a manual clutch. The R stands for "Revised". It was made around 1947 and rated at 10 hp.

The ER became the Bluesteak with no mechanical changes but a color change from gray to blue. With the introduction of the automatic clutch it became the Bluestreatk Automatic and was a very popular and successful two man saw in the late 1940's. Lots of pictures on Acres Collector's Corner. As a general rule, condition and completeness are critical elements when determining value, often more so than rarity.

IEL SUPER DD:Brief history from the seller from whom i acquired the saw:
The history about the saw is that it belonged to my
father in-Law. As a hard working dairy farmer in Upstate
New York he spent time during the winter cutting logs for
projects or income. He also hauled pulp wood when the price
was right and planed his own lumber on the farm using an old
cast iron planer and a belt drive from a tractor for power. It did a
great job and was kept in an old planer house. This is where the
saw was found; it was in a loft and must have been there for
over 20 years, since I've never seen it.

BRIEF HISTORY by Wayne Sutton: Reed-Prentice, Smith, IEL, Mall, and others were connected through the Stihl model type BD copies. It is also true that Bob McCulloch worked for Reed-Prentice, connecting him to the linage as well. Mill and Mine Supply and their Titans were direct desendents as were numerous other builders worldwide.
Reed Prentice Corp purchased D.J.Smith Manufacturing in late 1939. R-P was trying win a military contact to build chainsaws for the war. Then when Mercury appeared as the front runner for the engine portion of that contact, R-P pursued the cutter portion. In turn they sold the D.J. Smith Mfg. company back to Smith and his employees in late 1942.

Smith contracts that he had signed with the German government that covered the purchase of Stihl chain saws in exchange for Canadian lumber. They did not want Canadian currency. Mr Smith had been doing field modifications to the saws including a dual oil and gas tank and a simpler helper handle. They copied the German chain and made their own bars. When the war broke out in 1939 and he could no longer get chain saws he used the Stihls as patterns and produced his own saws which he sold until 1941 when he sold the rights to Reed Prentice. They held the rights for two years and sold them back to the factory contingent that formed Industrial Engineering Limited in 1943.(Marshall Trover).

IEL DC SUPER PIONEER POWERHEAD/DIAMOND DRILL ATTACHMENT..

2009-07-13T16:35:00.001-07:00

A rare "PACKSAC" Chainsaw power drill attachment used by prospectors in the 50's.
Unit is used in core sample drilling when doing "claims" geology studies.

Water used in a barrel is fed through the head and inside the diamond bit to help cooling of the diamond cutters. If the samples showed significant value, a team would set up camp in winter due to easier access on frozen ground and investigate their discovery.
Some "core samples" can be seen on the last picture inside box.
Still used today, modern units showing with portable accessories.

HORNET DJ 3600H (early 1 man saw).

2009-07-13T16:20:00.001-07:00

Hornet was the first commercial 2 man chain saw available in Nova-Scotia, Canada 1948

To my knowledge the company ceased operation in 1950 with whe take over from MALL TOOLS CO. from Vancouver. Hornet information is very limited. Please let me know if you have any information that could help to complete the history of the Hornet saws.

COMPANY LIMITED HISTORY .....Thanks for help and assistance to ANN (Guelph Historical Society) and Kathleen (the Guelph Civic Museum).
Their research:
The first listing is in 1945 and they are located at 151 Surrey St. E. (The Dalyte Building) and J. Smith is the President and General Manager. I don't have a book for 1946, 1948 or 1950 so I have a few gaps. In 1947 their main plant is still at 151 Surrey St. but they also have a second plant at 14 Lucan St. J. Smith is still Pres. and Gen. Man. In 1949, they have a third plant at 94 Gordon Street (near Wellington). At this point J. Smith is President and W.H. Calver is General Manager. There is no listing of the company in 1951. In all of the listings for the company they are listed as making gas powered motors and power chain saws.

Hornet/Mall DJ3600H (later 2 man saw version).

2009-07-11T05:53:00.000-07:00

Saw history: The little history that I have on the saw is: The saw was bought new by David Maxell. He used it in the woods of McKean and Potter Counties in Pennsylvania USA. After a Logging accident left him and his father unable to continue to logging. It passed through a few hands until it ended up in Perryville NY USA, Where I purchased it at an estate auction because it had ties to McKean County, the county in PA where I grew up. When you restore the saw, I'd love to see pictures of it. Shane

Hornet history in time:
The Hornet company was created and run by DJ Smith until he sold it out to Mall saws (Arthur Mall). They were produced in Guelph, Ontario, Canada by Don J Smith, the same man who imported the first Stihl's into Vancouver, Canada from the mid to late nineteen thirties . He started producing copies that evolved on cloning that saw and then sold it out to Reed Prentice who in terms was sold out to local business men who formed IEL from Vancouver.. In the mean time DJ Smith moved to Guelph, Ontario and in 1946 started producing the model HJ (his son's initials) two man Hornet. In 1948 he updated it to the model D and started producing the one man rope start model DJ 3500 (DJ being his initials). In 1950 he updated the one man to the DJ 3600 recoil start. At first the starter housing was part of the shroud cover. That was soon changed to a removable starter so the shroud and gas tank did not have to be removed to work on the starter. It was around this time that he sold out to Mall and so the Mall name appears on later models. He had said that taxes were so high in Canada on his business profits that he could not save any money from year to year and so he and his wife tried to spend it as fast as they made it and almost killed themselves off living too extravagantly. He lived out his later years in Eastern Washington State making custom hunting rifles, where I visited with him 1975. The Be-Bo was a Swedish copy and was introduced in 1948. I am not sure who was first, but they have the same style. I have been told that Gustav Holm imported Hornet and then made Be-Bo, but the time frames are not correct. The Mobilco Be-Bo was made here and rebaged to be sold in Australia. MARSHALL TROVER,

Nova-Scotia picture (feb2009) testimony: A donation from Dave Heffler(Fort Sackville Foundation): Distant relatives of mine have operated a sawmill for in nearby Sackville, Nova-Scotia, Canada, for about 150 years. The main operator or the mill has been Royce Hefler and he is still alive and active at age 88 but no longer owns the mill. I attach, for your interest, a picture that I happen to have of him using one of the first chain saws in Nova Scotia, probably about 1950.

From series 100 to 5999....... 5,899 units were fabricated in 1947.
This saw is serial number 5042
Only a few one survived...this is one of them "rare saw".

Company history: From the early 1900's British Aircraft Corporation was a leader in airplanes and jet engines. With the outcome of the industrial revolution they diversified their knowledge in different field of technology. First division was the Bristol Aeroplane Co.Limited. Their worldwide expansion created the Bristol Aeroplane Company of Canada and thus creating a sub-division "Bristol Aero-industries Limited.
To compete with those fields and other competitors they created PM(Power machinery), a chainsaw company that eventually became an independant entity in the late sixties.
Power Machinery Ltd. designed also the model 340 . It was 4.2 cu. in. (68.8cc) The SKIL version was introduced in 1969 right after SKIL Tool Co. bought out the chain saw division of Bristol Aero-Industries Limited (PM) in Vancouver (1967).

History from Mike Acre's site(CSCC).
In 1967 Peter G. Dueck became president of PM after the sale of the company to a group of investors by Bristol Aero-Industries Ltd. Mr. Dueck was President of Dueck Building Supplies Ltd. At the time A.F.B. Milligan was Vice-President and General Manager. J.C. Stainsby was Chief Engineer, H.J. Hutchinson was Marketing Manager and R.J.B. Molson was Manufacturing Manager.

Currently our chainsaw master Mike Acres from Vancouver purchased and owns the PM Company rights but it is not in production.

HISTORY of the saw:
JOYCE STRATTON(ANDERSON) SAW HISTORY:

This chainsaw was purchased by Carl Curtis. Carl owned a a large woodlot in Moscow, Maine, and worked as a woodsman in the Bingham, Moscow, Pleasant Ridge and Solon areas. He worked in the woods from the time he was 12 years old, cutting down trees and hauling them out to the Kennebec River. In addition to the work in the woods, he also worked the log drives up and down the Kennebec River. He used the chainsaw until he was into his 70's on his own property and woodlot, and it has since been passed down through the Curtis family.

WARDS(MONTGOMERY) model WD65.

2009-03-10T13:37:00.000-07:00

The Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalog House,was the heart of Montgomery Ward's operations.Founded as the world's first mail order business in 1872 by Aaron Montgomery Ward,In 1883, the company's catalog, which became popularly known as the "Wish Book". After World War II, Montgomery Ward had become the third-largest department store chain. In the 1950s, the company was slow to respond to general movement of the American middle class to suburbia. While its old rivals Sears, J.C. Penney, Macy's, McRae's, and Dillard's established new anchor outlets in the growing number of suburban shopping malls, the top executives thought such moves as too expensive, sticking to their downtown and main street stores until the company had lost too much market share to compete with its rivals. Its catalog business had begun to slip by the 1960s. In 1968, it merged with Container Corporation of America to become Marcor Inc.
During the 1970s, the company continued to flounder. In 1976, it was acquired by Mobil Oil, which was flush with cash from the recent rise in oil prices. In 1985, the company closed its catalog business after 113 years and began an aggressive policy of renovation of the remaining stores. The renovations centered on restructuring many of the store layouts into boutique-like speciality stores. In 1988, the company management undertook a successful $3.8 billion leveraged buyout, making Montgomery Ward a privately held company.

The exterior of a typical Jefferson Ward discount department store, which opened 1980-82
In 1987, it began a push into consumer electronics using the "Electric Avenue" name. Montgomery Ward greatly expanded their electronics presence by shifting from a predominantly private label mix to an assortment dominated by Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, and other national brands. This strategy was led by V.P. Vic Sholis, who later became President of the Tandy Name Brand Retail Group. (McDuff, VideoConcepts, and Incredible Universe) Seemingly on the right track for a rebound in marketshare, in the late 1980s and early 1990s Montgomery Ward was one of the hottest retail chains in the country. 1994 brought a 94% increase in revenues, largely due to Ward's tremendously successful direct-marketing arms. For a short while Wards was also back in the mail-order business, through "Montgomery Ward Direct", a mail order business licensed to the catalog giant "Fingerhut". But by the mid 1990s sales margins were eroded even further in the competitive electronics and appliance hardlines, which traditionally were Ward's strongest lines.
The company also spun off Jefferson Ward (known as "Jeffersons"), a short-lived discount department store version of Montgomery Ward which had the same concepts as most discount department stores. The chain was discontinued in 1988, and most locations were converted into Bradlees stores.
In 1994, it acquired the now-defunct New England retail chain Lechmere.By the 1990s, however, even its old rivals had begun to lose ground to low-price competition from Kmart, Target, and especially Wal-Mart, which stripped away even more of Montgomery Ward's old customer base. In 1997, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emerging from bankruptcy court protection in August 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital, by then its largest shareholder. As part of a last-ditch effort to remain competitive, the company closed 250 retail locations in 30 U.S. states, closed all the Lechmere stores, abandoned the speciality store strategy, renamed and rebranded the chain as simply Wards (although unrelated, Wards was the original name for the now-defunct Circuit City), and spent millions of dollars to renovate its remaining outlets to be flashier and more consumer-friendly. But GE reneged on promises of further financial support of Wards' restructuring plans.In December 28, 2000, the company, after lower-than-expected sales during the Christmas season, announced it was going out of business and would close its remaining 250 retail outlets and lay off its 37,000 employees. All the stores closed within weeks of the announcement. The subsequent liquidation was at the time the largest retail bankruptcy liquidation in U.S. history. It went out of business in may 2001.Montgomery Ward brand was revived as an online and catalog-based retailer headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in late 2004, when Direct Marketing Services Inc. purchased much of the intellectual property assets of the former Wards, reviving the brand as an online retailer with no physical stores. In 2008, ownership changed over to Swiss Colony in Monroe, Wisconsin.
The company does not currently operate any retail stores.
n June, 2004, an online retailer was created which sells the same products as the former brand. The company does not currently operate any retail stores. Key "Montgomery Ward" and "Wards" trademarks were purchased by Iowa-based direct marketing company Direct Marketing Services Inc. (DMSI), a catalog marketer, for an undisclosed amount of money.
In July 2008, it was announced that DMSI was on the auction block, with an auction scheduled for August 2008. Catalog retailer Swiss Colony purchased DMSI on August 5, 2008. Swiss Colony has announced that it will keep the Montgomery Ward catalog division open. The Web site launched on September 10, 2008, with new catalogs mailing in February 2009.[7] A month before the catalogs' launch, Swiss Colony President John Baumann told United Press International the retailer might also resurrect Wards' Signature and Powr-Kraft store brands.
