Answer:
History of the pen
Explanation:
The earliest records of the pen date back to 3,000 years B.C. Ancient Egyptians created the first pens, which could write on papyrus. They made the pens out of wood and bamboo straws, and the ink from soot or ochre combined with beeswax.
From the year 700 A.D. to around the 1700’s, the quill pen was the main writing instrument. Although swan feathers made the best quills, common people usually used goose feathers because swan feathers were hard to find and they were expensive. Crow feathers were used for fine lines.
The idea for a pen with an ink container was conceived in 973 A.D. by Ma’ād al-Mu’izz, an African caliph. He despised when the ink spilled on his hands and clothes, so he commissioned someone to invent a pen that could solve his problem. The result was a fountain pen quite similar to the modern design that we use today. Basically, this odd request changed the way we make pens forever.
The oldest preserved pen is a fountain pen from 1702 designed by M. Bion from France.
In 1949, Marcel Bich designed the very first affordable pen as we know and recognise it today. He named it BIC after his own name.
Paul Fisher designed the Space Pen for the 1968 Apollo mission. Of course, this was not a regular pen – the Space Pen used cartridge ink that worked in zero gravity, underwater, upside-down and could even write on oily surfaces. It also lasted 3 times longer than a regular pen. And not just that – it was able to endure extreme temperatures (from -40°C to 120°C).
another fun fact that involves an Apollo mission and a pen. During the Apollo 11 expedition, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong noticed that something had fallen off the circuit breaker. After a thorough examination, they realised that the missing piece was the engine switch and that they could not return to Earth unless they replaced it somehow. Buzz Aldrin came up with an interesting solution – he jammed a felt-tip pen in the hole where the switch used to be. Luckily, that worked, and they were able to return. The pen literally saved their lives!
