I've been curious about this point for a while now and hope someone can add some insight. Very early chainsaws seemed to predominately use vertical cylinders. Then, by the 70's and 80's it seemed the majority of saws used a horizontal orientation. Present day, and for the past 10-15 years or so, it seems vertical cylinders are used on almost all saws. Besides the location of center of gravity, are there performance aspects that vary based upon orientation of the cylinder? Why the transitions from vertical to horizontal and back to vertical?
Thanks for any input,
