I wondered why I didnt see any Windsor stuff after a while.

HolmenTree,got any pictures of the beast that run that chain. 

I'm still looking, probably a picture somewhere in my library.
But I do have this from the article .

Also the last article of the "loop maker" from the same page really got my interest.

Your very much welcome cfarm. I enjoy digging up this cool old stuff and sharing it with members here that have been aroind long enough to appreciate it.
Advertising on a magazine page was so well done back in the 1970's and 80's.
Like these 2 advertisements here from the early 1970's. True work of art!

I Also found you the picture of that mechanical harvester with the giant Windsor sawchain.
Looks like a typo as it says 2 1/2" pitch not 2 1/4" . Not the greatest picture, the poor photographer was probanly a city guy and was scared to death :D will look for another.

Last pic is an article from 1974 when Windsor starts manufacturing saw chain in Brazil.

Thank you. I know what it takes to look for something. Time wise too.

Great company Windsor was, builders of the famous durable Speed Tip still used today.
Interesting note about the Windsor company, in 1974 about the time when they were in full worldwide production. R.H. Livsey their director of marketing turned 83 years old!
Lots of experience. 

My family and I are presently sitting at the airport waiting to board our flight at 18:50 to London, England.
We'll see lot's of industrial "experience " over there.
We're excited!
See you in 2 weeks.
