A bunch of decades ago, I saw a setup something like this at some cathedral in
France (Notre-Dame de Paris, I think) where they were cutting stones to
replace old ones. I recall that they had a continuous cable that ran on
pulleys and had springs to maintain tension and a water slurry or something
to
do the actual cutting; it was used to cut the stones, as I said. Whenever I
visted the place the machine was running constantly. But again, the memory
of
a 9-year-old, 43 years later, is not necessarily too reliable. I don't
remember if they cut from the top or from the side, but I think that the
cable
ran in one direction rather than going back and forth.
