ballpoint pen which, if i must say so myself07/04/2005 The Hungarian journalist Laszlo Biro invented the modern version of it in 1938, but even sitting in front of the most sophisticated computer in the world, you still need it. Besides, how can you scratch your ear with a computer mouse? It is the ballpoint pen. Often times the right information can change a person's life. Read this carefully and I hope it will help you Ink pens had been around for a long time, but the problem was that they leaked, could only be used on certain surfaces, and the ink stayed wet for a long time. Biro noticed that the ink used for printing newspaper dried quickly but he needed a way to quickly and smoothly get that ink on to paper. The ball in a ballpoint pen had been invented some time earlier as a way to mark leather. Biro refined the process to allow the ball to pick up ink from the cartridge and roll it on the paper. Other problems that he solved were getting the ink at just the right viscosity and figuring out a way to be able to write in any angle. The earlier designs depended on gravity, which would not do you much good trying to write on a note pinned to a bulletin board or refrigerator door supposing that. The British, who produced ballpoint pens for RAF aircrew, who found they worked much better than fountain pens at high altitude, licensed this new design now let's take a look at. For such a simple item, they seem to always be improving. In t he 1970's we were blessed with the first disposable pen made by Bic. Now we did not need to worry about losing or someone 'borrowing' our ballpoint pen. Then came colors. Every kid now had to have, not only black, but also blue, red, green, not to mention peach, purple, and brown. What did teachers do before they could mark up your paper with red ink that's precisely the point. The "Space Pen" developed by Fisher in the United States, might just be the top of the ballpoint pen technology mountain. Here we now had a ballpoint pen that could write upside or even ion the zero gravity of space. The cartridge is pressurized to force the ink out at any angle giving countless opportunities to write a note on the ceiling if you really needed to. Recently, Bic Corporation, producer of the first disposable pen, made number 100 billion. That means they have made almost 20 Bic pens for every man, woman, and child on the planet. The newest craze is scented pens. The ink contains a perfume. Not only can you express your emotions in color, but you can also have your writings smell like strawberry, apple, grape, almond, or mint. What next before getting all bent out of shape. The best thing about the development of the ballpoint pen is that the can be made very cheaply. Otherwise, all we would ever get from our insurance agent at Christmas is a calendar and not a ballpoint pen with his name stamped on the side the next step. We have come to the end of my informational article. It's now your job to take this information and do something with it. Good luck and thanks for visiting. |
