For Fountain Pen Technologists

[Pen Engineer]

For five years, around 1980, I worked for a pen manufacturer, as designer and ingeneer. During this time I discovered that not everything that works, can be or needs to be explained. For an ingeneer, to accept magic and let it exist in his work is a huge step.

 

Thirty odd years later, fountain pens still fascinate me, their function in particular. Therefore, I started publishing my memoires on my web site titled Fountain Pen Magic. You can / will find there all sorts of interesting things relating to technology, function and manufacture, as much as I can remember.

 

The link to my site is https://fountainpendesign.wordpress.com/

 

Come and visit and let’s initiate communication amongst technically interested fountain pen lovers. At the moment, I write what I believe you are interested in. Writing can be a lonely task. Engagement with you will be a highlight.

 

Enjoy reading and discovering

Welcome !

 

I like the variety in fountain pens, through the years. I am fascinated by the development and innovation, just so the ink does not make a "blob" on my paper. Most enteresting !
