Lovely image of a well used Danarm chain saw. Note the hand operated oil pump to lubricate the chain and bar, the gear housing that linked the engine drive to the chain drive and the rotating tank and carburettor assembly so that it was kept level at all times. The label reads:
‘Danarm Saw. J Clubley Armstrong – Danarm, Abford House, Wilton Road, London SW1. Made under one or more of the following patients (followed by a list of numbers and those numbers for Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa) Made in England by Daniels Stroud.

The PDF shows the Danarm saw cross cutting and felling a tree.
