Milestones in the History of Writing Pens

There are a variety of pens nowadays. There are pens, fountain pens, reed pens, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, gel ink pens, wooden pens, etc. Among the leading manufacturers are Parker Pens Pens, Mont Blanc pens Waterman Pens, Bic Pens, Cross Pens and many others. This remarkable writing instrument, with the help of which you can leave a trace of ink on a sheet of paper, is an indispensable part of our lives. In fact, it is an indispensable part of human culture. The history of pens begins from the ancient times, about 3000 BC to the year they were cut from reeds. The English word "pen" (a pen writing) came from Latin "penna" meaning "feather of a bird." It happened because of the popularity of goose feathers, which were rejected at the root. Since the sixth century BC bird feathers have been widely used by many civilizations. The best samples were made of large feathers of swans, turkeys and geese. Archaeological Discoveries in the ruins of Pompeii include variants bronze pens, but they have been widely distributed that by the end of the eighteenth century. After a century, pens with a capillary system, or simply fountain pens, were invented by LE Waterman, a New York seller of writing goods. Laszlo Biro, taking into account the latest methods of manufacturing ball bearings for machines and weapons, said ball mechanism for the capillaries and presented the pen to the world in 1944. The company stationery Pentel Tokyo became the first to present the felt pen on the world in 1960. The timeroad pens history is about 6000 long years. Key steps in this regard: About 3000-4000 years BC The ancient man scratched the damp clay plate with a bronze or a stick of bone. Approximately 3,000 years BC Egyptians started to use images in their compositions. Thin reed brushes or feathers have been used to make inscriptions on rolls of papyrus. 1300 BC Romans used metal pens for writing on thin sheets of wax put on wooden bars. Writings were erased by the other end of the pen. Middle Ages. Anglo-Saxons began to use bars filled with wax out of parchment. They wrote with pens made of metal or bone, with one end sharpened and the other was used for deletion. 600-1800 AD Europeans have discovered that the use of pencils sharpened changed the style of writing (writing). First they used capital letters only, but later they began to use small letters to increase the speed of writing. Pen (goose feather) that first appeared in Seville, Spain, has been used as a writing instrument 600-1800 AD 1790ies. Regardless of slate pencil was invented in France and Australia. 1800-1850ies. The metal fountain pen was patented in 1803, but the patent has not been used for commercial purposes. steel pens were widely adopted in the 1830s. In the 19th century, metal pen completely replaced pens from goose feathers. In 1850, the use of fountain pens significantly decreased the quality of steel pens was high: their tips were made of heavy alloys with more than iridium, rhodium and osmium. Lewis Edson Waterman, an insurance agent, invented the first fountain pen in 1844. 1888-1916 Invention of the ballpoint pen is officially dated from the late 19 th century. In 1888, John Loud took a patent in 1916 - Van Vechten Reisberg. Unlike other patents that have been used for commercial purposes. Invention of the modern ballpoint pen is attributed to Laszlo Biro and George Biro. In summer 1943 the first copies were manufactured industrial. Patent rights were purchased by the British Parliament. Ballpoint pens were used by the military during World War II because they are more practical and more reliable than goose feathers. In 1940 ballpoint pens appeared on the U.S. market. They were sold as the first pens which wrote underwater. Ballpoint pens were a huge success. In one department store in New York more than 10,000 pens were sold during a luncheon Oct. 29, 1945. In 1953, the first ballpoint pens seem cheap, when the French Baron Bich of BIC Co. engaged in manufacturing of ballpoint pens, managed to improve the technological processes and reduce manufacturing costs considerably. Bic pens were very cheap and quickly became very popular. In 1960, the felt-tip pen was invented in Japan. Soon markers appeared on the U.S. market and seized. Rollerball pens appeared in the early 1980s. They had a ball in motion and can use liquid inks which helped write the smooth line on the paper. Technological advances in the late 1980s - 1990s, the beginnings of the ball significantly improved in all parameters. In the 1990s, pens with a rubberized surface which reduced by pressing the pen came into use and have been widely adopted. In 1997, the mass production of RingPens was launched. These pens have been developed to write without pressing three fingers on it when writing. Technological progress does not stop. And who knows what kind of pens, we will write in a decade, century, millennium ...
