named Friedrich Staedtter invented the modern lead" pencil in about 1622 in Germany. He was the
first person to mass produce them. Staedtler did not use lead, and there is mo lead in your pencil
However, some pencils did use lead until the early twentieth century. Lead will make a mark, but it is
toxic and not safe to use either in the hands or around the face and mouth where many pencils
sometimes stray. Staedtler used black graphite, a soft form of carbon. Graphite is still used today. It is
mixed with clay and war and heated to high temperatures. The modern pencil is a superb piece of
technology. The pencil is less messy than ink, can be easily erased, and makes clear, dark, smooth and
smudge-free lines. The modern pencil can produce a continuous line twenty-twa miles long. That's a
distance of 116,160 foot long rulers laid end to end. Enjoy your pencil. For a few cents each, it is a
