"Full House" has traditionally meant a cutter for every driver, the only place I have seen that type of chain recently is on the Milwaukee battery powered chainsaws. "Full Comp" is the more common term for the traditional chain sequence with a space (driver and tie straps) between alternating cutters.

Full Comp - Semi Skip - Skip or Full Skip

3/8 full comp in 0.050 is probably the most common chain size out there but 0.058 was also very popular on Jonsreds and Husqvarna saws, especially those sold in the North East part of the country.

The direct drive saw is most likely a 1-42, many of those were shipped from the factory without the lower brace.

The gear drive saw in back is probably a 1-85 or 1-86 but could also be an 840, 890, or 895 as they all had the provision for an air vane governor.

Thanks Mark! for the clarification. We always referred to what you show as standard as "full house".

The older echos I have are small but you cand definitely tell they were built buy the Japanese at a time when pride in craftsmanship was held in high regard, might been kind of a" we're gonna have to prove we're good " type of mentality at the time.
Definitely well built.
