I suspect the guy with a bowsaw as an avatar is pulling legs calling another saw goofy

That is ridiculous. Please tell me it is not purpose designed as a chainsaw.

They are purpose designed saws so the operators could work all day cutting pulp-wood sized trees without breaking their backs, leaving high stumps, or wasting time to constantly kneel down and get backup.
From the earlier pic and comments, seems like the bar turns so they could buck up afterwards.
Bow saws IIRC where meant to reduce bending over when bucking up small-ish logs as well.

well said
no matter how stupid or goofy a saw looks or works they all made there way to the most common saws we have to date.
When I first got in to chainsaws it was the common firewood saw most use. After building and keeping them I looked at my collection and thought the only value to
these as far as collecting are just a bunch of working tools.
For myself now it's the history of yesteryears loggers and what they used to make a living and to heat the homes.

I for sure would not want to put in a work session using a saw from the 50s, heavy, slow (but lots of torque due to the gear drive), manual oiler. Our first one was a Mac, I lasstd used it 1954. I had no clue on how to sharp a chain so it mostly just chewed and burned its way through.
Absolutely.
My grandpa and great grandpa hand logged a good portion of our family land in the mid 30's. In the late 50's my grandpa and great uncle (then into their mid 40's) harvested enough to build a house with the lumber and two garages with vertical timbers. They started off by hand but got their hands on a used chainsaw halfway through and were very relieved.
I like the ideal of not having to bend over to buck and fell a tree. But a newer saw design with more power and faster chain speed looks like a kickback nightmare.
Still I wouldn't mind having one just for the heck of it. Then I could say I have a goofy Swedish saw.
PS
Put some bucking spikes on that thing

Kickback was the first thing that popped to mind when I saw the picture...probably fairly safe though as it would go overhead.

Sharpen the chain, chuck chips ...repeat...
I bet because of lawyer's we wouldn't see a saw like that on this continent.
