that's true

here's more

It took a "village" to create the machine we call the chainsaw. Around 1830 German Dr. Bernard Heine invented the osteotome, a chainsaw-like tool powered by a winder had links of a chain carrying small cutting teeth with the edges set at an angle. Then in 1861, the Hamilton saw that was hand-cranked by one or two men and looked like a spinning wheel is invented. Then in the 1880s a riding saw that resembled a rowing machine that workers could sit on was invented. Then in 1926 Andreas Stihl patented the first electric-powered cutoff chain saw. In 1927 Emil Lerp developed the first gasoline-powered chainsaw. In 1929 Stihl invented his own version of the gasoline-powered variety and began mass-production. In 1948 Joseph Cox invented the Oregon chain with interlocking links, a product so popular he founded the Oregon Chain Co. and mass-produced them. Then in 1960, the Oregon Company released the Homelite chainsaw series, the first truly portable chainsaw.
