Le terme «pit saw» vient de la coutume qui veut que, en Angleterre, les grumes aient été placées au-dessus de grands fossés; la scie était maniée par un homme se tenant sur le bord du fossé (le «top man», ou «top sawer»), et par un ou deux autres hommes se trouvant dans le fossé même (le «pit man» ou «box man»). 2, record 1, French, - scie%20de%20long
