I worked at a tree service in WA for a while. The guy who owned it was Ray Gleason. He was an arborist and 4th generation logger. He had a print of that picture and told me that the saw is electric. He pointed out the cable running to the saw. Powered by a generator on the ground apparently. I have no idea if it's true, but he said it was at the beginning of the power saw era and gas and electric motors were still duking it out for the chainsaw application.

You gotta hand it to these men standing on spikes holding up a flip line which looks the size of a plough line , cutting off limbs that are like trees themselves
And hauling that big ole saw around and up The tree Amazing

Pretty sure that is a pic of some of the logs that were blown down in the region where I live during the Gudrun storm of 2005 or 2006 if I am not mistaken. One storm blew down the equivalant of one years harvest volume for the whole country in an area maybe 10% or less of the countries area.

January 8th, 2005. 250,000,000 trees is the estimate. This is only one of the larger collection areas.

The vast majority of the trees had to be processed by hand. Large numbers of Swedes, but mostly men from Poland, worked for months clearing away the trees. Guys say you could find pro saws in various states of disrepair abandoned on the sides of the logging roads as guys left them rather than take them back to Poland. Just to be clear I was not living here at the time, I came in 2009.
