Writing instruments brief History.
A little over 6,000 years, marked by milestones, leading to changes in writing technology and methods and in the summary is as follows:
About 3000-4000 BC.
Man scratches wet clay tablets with bronze or bone stick.
About 3000 BC. e.
Egyptians begin to use the images in their works. The inscriptions on papyrus spray thin reed brushes or feathers
1300 years BC. e.
The Romans used to write on thin sheets of wax deposited on wooden tiles with metal ended feathers. They used to erase written words with the other end of the feather.
Middle Ages
In addition to the use of parchment Saxons used tiles filled with wax. They write with metal or bone pens, in which one end is sharpened, and the second is used to erase.
Years 600-1800 AD
Europeans discovered that the use of sharpened feather changes the style of writing (handwriting). First, they use all capital letters, but later appeared and minuscule ones to increase the speed of writing. Pen (goose feather) (which first appeared in Seville, Spain) was used as a writing instrument from 600 to 1800 AD.
1790s
Slate-pencil invented independently in France and Australia.
1800-1850
Metal fountain pen was patented in 1803, but the patent was not used for commercial purposes. Steel pens came into public use in the 1830s. In the 19th century metal pens completely replaced pens from goose feathers. In 1850 the use of goose feathers decreased significantly when the quality of steel pens improved by starting to produce tips of heavy alloys with addition of iridium, rhodium, osmium.
1844
Lewis Edson Waterman (Lewis Edson Waterman), insurance agent, invented the first real pen.
1888-1916
The invention of the principle of the ballpoint pen officially dates from the late 19th century. In 1888, a patent was John Loud (John Loud), in 1916 - Van Vechten Raizberg (Van Vechten Reisberg). Unlike other patents, these are used for commercial purposes.
1940s
The invention of the modern ballpoint pen is attributed to Joseph (Laszlo) and Dzhorzhdu Biro (see above). In the summer of 1943 were produced the first industrial copies. Patent rights were purchased by the British Parliament. Ballpoint pens were used by the military during the Second World War, because it was more comfortable and durable pen.
1945
Ballpoint pen appeared on the U.S. market for goods. Pen marketed as "the first pen that writes under water." Success was dizzy. One of the major divisions of the department store in New York sold before lunch in October 29, 1945, over 10,000 pens.
1953
The first inexpensive ball pens appeared, when French baron Biku (Bich), BIC Co, engaged in the production of ballpoint pens, managed to significantly reduce the production costs by improving the process.
1960s
In Japan, the marker pen was invented (see above). In 1960, markers appear on the U.S. market and grab it. Following the success of markers, pens acquire production departments for the production of any modifications thereof, including markers.
1980-1990-s
Rollers. Pens rollers appeared in the early 1980s. In contrast to the heavy ink used in ordinary ballpoint pen, roller ball features a movable liquid ink that gives the paper a smoother line. Technology advances from the late 1980's to the early 1990's and greatly improved rollers on all counts.
1990-...
Public recognition of the pen with rubberized surfaces that reduce pressing the knob.
1997 ...
In mass production started handle RingPen (see above). These pens are designed for writing without pressing on the handle with three fingers.
