"anatomy Of A Fountain Pen" From Goulet Pens

Recommended Posts

Brian Goulet has put together a simply perfect presentation showing all the parts of a modern fountain pen, one of the best diagrams I have seen of anything, let alone pens. Thank you Brian.

 

Here's the link to the full size version.

Brian is GREAT.

Anyone like Ray Bradbury? Please read "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair" if you have about 12 minutes.

 

You will not forget this wonderful gem that is largely obscure and sadly, forgotten. http://bit.ly/1DZtL4g

Being new to fountain pens, I am incredibly grateful for the resource that we all have in Brian Goulet. He is an amazing ambassador for handwriting.

Yes Zaphod, and as Derek Zoolander would point out, those pen parts in the picture are way too small. What is this, a pen for ants?

This is a great reference that I would have enjoyed using when I started with fountain pens. The good part is that I'm still learning, and this is a great product!

Some of the nomenclature seems odd to me, and there might be one or two doubtful factoids in the key to the diagrams, but it does show everything on a typical c/c pen, and most important (to me), it shows Brian Goulet's active interest in fountain pens. Good job!

Eerie: just as I was wanting exactly this information, it appears! I had no idea the FPN had mind-readers for members. Thank you!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
