A Brief History of the Mechanical Pencil Surprisingly, this wonder of pencil technology has actually existed in one form or another for the better part of five centuries. If you take a look at pencil history, you will see that the first image of a pencil ever produced actually looks more like modern mechanical pencils than a wooden pencil. This 1567 image depicts a wooden stock that held replaceable graphite.

What are the materials used to make pencil? The eraser that tops pencils is either made from vulcanized rubber impregnated with pumice stone(which is the pink kind of eraser) or made from vinyl(which is the kind of eraser that is different colors). Incidentally, the reason rubber is called rubber is because of its ability to rub out pencil marks.

How Ballpoint Pens Work In 1945, the first inexpensive ballpoint pens were manufactured when Frenchman Marcel Bich developed the industrial process for making the pens that lowered the unit cost dramatically. In 1949, Bich introduced his pens in Europe. He called the pens  BIC , a shortened, easy-to-remember version of his name.

This patent was later held to be invalid because it was merely the combination of two things, without a new use.

Pencil sharpener The first American pencil sharpener was patented by Walter K. Foster of Bangor, Maine in 1855. Electric pencil sharpeners for offices have been made since at least 1917. They now come in a wide array of colors and shapes. It is common for traditional sharpeners to have a case around them to collect the shavings.

W h o i n v e n t e d t h ec r a y o n? Crayola did not invent the crayon. Records show that Europe was the birthplace of the modern crayon. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. Later, powdered pigments of various hues replaced the charcoal. It was discovered that substituting wax for the oil in the mixture made the sticks sturdier and easier to handle. Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902 and first offered for sale in 1903. Alice (Stead) Binney, a school teacher and wife of co-founder Edwin Binney, suggested the company manufacture an inexpensive alternative to imported crayons of that era. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word craie, meaning stick of chalk and ola from the word oleaginous, meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment.

Inventor Laszlo Biro and the Battle of the Ballpoint Pens More history and information on: pencils, pens, erasers, pencils, pencil sharpeners, ballpoint pens, and more. No man was more foolish when he had not a pen in his hand, or more wise when he had - Samuel Johnson. A Hungarian journalist named Laszlo Biro invented the first ballpoint pen in 1938.Biro had noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free.his principle of the ballpoint pen actually dates back to an 1888 patent owned by John J. Loud for a product to mark leather. However, this patent was commercially unexploited. Laszlo Biro first patented his pen in 1938, and applied for a fresh patent in Argentina on June 10, 1943.

- 2. Electrical Excitation of the Sarcolemma. I. Like most cell membranes, the sarcolemma of muscle cells is polarized: it has more negative charge inside than outside. II. ACh triggers an Electrical Excitation of the sarcolemma by opening chemically gated Na+ Channels, allowing positive charge to rush into the cell.

Who Invented the Pencil? The First Pencil Was a Failure. The first attempt to invent a pencil was not successful. It was made of powdered or pulverized graphite. The result was a poor quality pencil that easily broke. Graphite and clay should be mixed well to produce a proper kind of pencil. This was done by the man who invented the pencil properly. All quality pencil makers today, owe it to the first pencil maker who perfected the right formula for it.

- Today pencils are numbered and/or lettered to tell us how hard the lead is. The higher the number, the harder the lead, and the lighter the markings. However, it wasn't always this way. The earliest pencils were made simply from filling a wood shaft with raw graphite.

- Pencils are made by cutting blocks of wood into slats that are machined to form a groove (two to nine per slat) to place the leads. A second slat is glued onto the first, sandwich fashion, then individual pencils are cut from the sandwich and sanded smooth.
