Delta's "pistons": Actually Just A Captive Converter?

[FriendAmos]

 

If you read in the specific differences are explained, it is clearly written:

 

Filling System Ink converter usable like piston filler

 

Filling System Piston Filler

 

 

The English is clear enough there. I believe Feanaaro "issues" are to do with the Italian.

The English is clear enough there. I believe Feanaaro "issues" are to do with the Italian.

But they use the correct word, "stantuffo" is used for the piston pen (such as Pelikan to understand) while in the other it is not written "stantuffo", description appears in the descriptions that I put before, no longer exists in a shop italian language Martemodena is in English only, If I read Delta Federico "stantuffo" and under the description "Filling System piston filler" I think it's different if I wrote Delta Federico and under the description "Filling System Ink converter usable like piston filler" then you see from the photo that has a window for the ink does not seem there is willingness to cheating on their part.

As an Italian native speaker, I can also confirm that nobody other than Delta uses "pistone" to refer to a converter. A cartridge/converter system in Italian is called "cartuccia/converter", "cartuccia/convertitore" or other similar forms. Using "pistone" to refer to a converter is a marketing trick to sell the filling system as something more than the usual cartridge/converter.

 

And yes, technically, a converter is made of a piston. But selling a converter pen as a piston-filler because "converters are technically a piston" is pretty much the same as selling someone a cart and call it an automobile, because you know, it has wheels and a steering mechanism

I think there is a lot of confusion, in Italian it is explained very well the differences between the piston and plunger, then we can discuss it a long time but I do not think changes with what is written in the link I posted earlier in which the descriptions are explained properly in English, each one reads what he wants to read.

"Italian was adopted by the state after the Unification of Italy and is based on Tuscan, which beforehand was a language spoken mostly by the upper class of Florentine society"
