Ha ,if you got that old Wright stuck it would shake the teeth right out of your head before you could shut it off .

They are not fast but mace super smooth cut when filed correct!
I started one of mine just to see as the curiosity was getting too much!
It was used here mostly by the fruit growers and gardeners.

The one in first pic looks like Reed Prentice air saw.
These are pretty early, and grand kids to the first US made saw, Wolf!

Actually, the air saws were Ingersol Rand.

Wonder if those old saws smoked a lot? Never have seen one running....

I'll bet a lot of them were 16:1. As a kid I remember a blue cloud of smoke around anyone running a chainsaw back then.

There's a Wright for sale here, looks good. It didn't sell and he relisted it.

Ingesoll made no saws.
Wolf/Reed-Prentice made them.
These are Reed Prentice from what I can tell from the pic.
Here you can see one of the earlier ones in Nico Henkens collection.
