===============
I don't know anything about the original but it sounds very much like a
modern bandsaw. Have a look at this:
http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=060710025

This uses a 1/2" wide hacksaw-type blade welded into a continuous loop.

Cic.

Is this a hand or power tool ? The only one I remember was a sort of
adjustable length padsaw with hacksaw blades. AFAIR, it had some sort
of sliding arrangement to support the blade right up against the cut,
despite being a frameless blade holder.

Does it have a pistol grip at one end, a central spine and a blade
retainer at the other?- if so I think I have one, it was in my dad's
tools and I've been trying to find out what it is.

A sort of mechanised padsaw, then, with the advantage that the blade is
supported right up to the cut at all times.
