 |  | What were the first "One Man" Chain Saws
The IEL prototype was hand made in 1944. The motor was a 2-cycle 2.75 cu. in.
(45 ccm) with a cast iron cylinder, reed valve, Bendix Scintilla magneto and
Tillotson AJ series float carburetor. It had a rope starter, beaver tail type bar
and scratcher chain. It had to be operated in the bucking position.
A year later the BEAVER was introduced using the same motor and a pistol
grip rear handle that allowed the carburetor to swivel. A clutch and oiler pump.
IEL "Industrial Engineering Ltd."
