Output classes A and AB

In class AB, each man pulls the saw about 1/2 way across the stroke then
lets go,
and the other guy grabs his saw handle and pulls the saw back the other
way.
Each man only mainly pulls the saw in turn, and applied force is jerky,
and frankly,
a difficult way to work; the Union will be down soon to have a go at the
boss who told
the men to saw the log that way.
So speaks someone who obviously has no experience cutting wood with a
cross-cut saw. You can pull on a saw, but pushing on it can easily cause it
to bend and bind. When 2 men use a cross-cut saw, each man pulls far more
than he pushes.
Class AB verging on pure class B is the preferred mode of operation for a
cross-cut saw.
