That is EXACTLY the way I have heard my dad describe his father oiling 
crosscut saws. He would keep it oiled while the "help" did the sawing.

The boss  told me that when he was a boy he and his dad would cut down trees with a two man crosscut saw.  They would lubricate the two man saw with a bottle filled with kerosene and  the top crammed full of pine needles.  They'd rub the saw with that, saw some more, rub some more, and so on.
