Ralph,

We had a neighbor (in Missouri) that powered one by belt with a late 
40's Case (VC I think).
When I helped out on the sawing team once as a teen, I heard a story 
similar to one I seem to
remember reading on this or a another forum some years ago.  Some of the 
men working with me
recounted an incident where the saw blade came off while turning at 
speed.  They said it
moved very fast and bounced along a good way before it stopped.
