Onoto pens. Excerpt: A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its
predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of
water-based liquid ink. From the reservoir, the ink is drawn
through a feed to the nib and then to the paper via a combination
of gravity and capillary action. As a result, the typical fountain
pen requires little or no pressure to write. Filling the reservoir
with ink may be done manually (via the use of an eyedropper or
syringe), or via an internal "filler" mechanism which creates
suction to transfer ink directly through the nib into the
reservoir. Some pens employ removable reservoirs, in the form of
pre-filled ink cartridges. These Parker Duofolds from the 1920s
used the Lucky Curve feed system and self-filled using a "button
filler." They were quite long; nearly 7 inches long when posted.
The earliest historical record of a reservoir pen dates to the 10th
century. In 953, Ma' d al-Mu'izz, the caliph of the Maghreb,
demanded a pen that would not stain his hands or clothes, and was
provided with a pen that held ink in a reservoir and delivered it
to the nib, which could be held upside-down without leaking, as
recorded in Kitab al-Majalis wa 'l-musayardt, by Qadi al-Nu'man
al-Tamimi (d. 974). No details of the construction or mechanism of
operation of this pen are known, and no examples have survived.
