Thanks for reading this article. The 1945 ballpoint pen was actually made by Reynolds. They got some of the technology and ink figured out. Bic came along and figured out how to produce at massive scale. All these entrepreneurs were discovering and creating new knowledge. Beautiful.
I love these analyses. The only caveat I'd add is that that 1945 Bic looks closer to a higher quality pen these days, not the cheap plastic Bic. https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/6427128/Scriveiner-Classic-Rollerball-Pen-Medium-Point/
