A lot of people know that I collect saws, I get several calls and messages every week about wonderful opportunities to buy things.

The BP-1 is a balanced piston, firing piston on top, balance piston on the bottom acts like a supercharger and also functions as the intake valve, in essence it is piston ported via the balance piston.

There were a lot of innovative features built in to those models, none of which carried over to any other production models...

The sprocket nose bars were a similar design to the consumer bars of today. The sprocket teeth are quite different since the A-8 chain was 1/2" pitch but the drivers were similar in size to 3/8" pitch chain.

The "Slimline" bars also featured a fine mesh brass screen over the oiler hole to keep debris out of the channels.

There were hardnose bars as well with oiler outlets near the tip.
