Quill Pen and Nut Ink
Children of Early Appalachia Quill Pen and Nut Ink Grades 3 and up Early writing tools were made from materials people could find or easily make themselves. Children used a slate with chalk and stone to write lessons at schools. They also practiced drawing and writing with a stick in dirt. Penny pencils for slates were available at general stores. Paper was purchased at stores too. Before the invention of pencils and pens, children used carved twigs or goose-quill pens made by the teacher. Ink was made at home from various ingredients (berries, nuts, roots, and soot) and brought to school. Good penmanship was highly valued but difficult to attain. Objective: Students will make pen and ink from natural materials and try writing with these old- fashioned tools. Materials: Pen: feathers, sharp scissors or a pen knife (Peacock or pheasant feathers make wonderful pens, but any large feather from a goose or turkey works well too.) Ink: 10 walnut shells, water, vinegar, salt, hammer, old cloth, saucepan, small jar with lid, strainer. (After using the homemade ink, students make like to continue practicing writing with the quill, so you may want to provide a bottle of manufactured ink for further quill writings.) Plan: Pen: Cut off the end of the feather at a slant. Then cut a narrow slit at the point of the pen. Ink: 1. Crush the shells in cloth with a hammer. 2. Put shells in saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 45 minutes or until dark brown.

Blotting out the Truth
Blotting Out the Truth The stunning discovery of a century-long cover-up of the real beginnings of L. E. Waterman’s Ideal Pen Company By George Rimakis and Daniel Kirchheimer “Many business men in America today fear to face the facts! Many men are ashamed to do so! All have skeletons; how many hide them, bury them, cover them over, gloss them over; and how many dig them out, turn on the sunlight, bring them to the surface, ruthlessly get the facts, no matter what they are, and then do what is necessary to set their houses to rights?” – “How Waterman Won,” Editor and Publisher, August 13, 1921 “It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a photograph, or a telephone or any other important thing—and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others. He added his little mite—that is all he did.” – Mark Twain, letter to Helen Keller, March 17, 1903 The story is a familiar one, and it has been repeated countless times for over a hundred years. In the latter part of the 19th century, a working man, frustrated by the skipping and blotting of the early fountain pens he tried, declared that a fortune awaited the person who could develop a practical fountain pen. After intense toil in a wagon-maker’s workshop, he succeeded in crafting a feed for a fountain pen in which he had enough confidence to apply for a patent. In mid-1883, ready to market his invention, he abandoned his former profession and set up shop in the back room of a cigar store on Fulton Street in New York City.

Monoline Quill
MONOLINE Monoline pen is a high quality gel pen. It is the more affordable of the two options; however, we do not recommend it on shimmer paper or dark envelopes as it does not show true to color. It can also appear streaky on those paper finishes. Monoline ink cannot be mixed to match specific colors. I have attached a photo to show you what monoline pen would look like. As you can see from the photo, there is no variation in line weight. QUILL Quill is the traditional calligrapher's pen. It uses a metal nib that is dipped in an ink bottle before each stroke. It is the more luxurious of the options. On certain paper, you can feel the texture of the ink once it dries. Quill ink can also be mixed to match certain colors. As you can see from the photo, there is variation in line weight.

The Origins of the Musical Staff
The Origins of the Musical Staff John Haines For Michel Huglo, master and friend Who can blame music historians for frequently claiming that Guido of Arezzo invented the musical staff? Given the medieval period’s unma- nageable length, it must often be reduced to as streamlined a shape as possible, with some select signiﬁcant heroes along the way to push ahead the plot of musical progress: Gregory invented chant; the trouba- dours, vernacular song; Leoninus and Perotinus, polyphony; Franco of Cologne, measured notation. And Guido invented the staff. To be sure, not all historians put it quite this way. Some, such as Richard Hoppin, write more cautiously that “the completion of the four-line staff ...is generally credited to Guido d’Arezzo,”1 or, in the words of the New Grove Dictionary of Music, that Guido “is remembered today for his development of a system of precise pitch notation through lines and spaces.”2 Such occasional caution aside, however, the legend of Guido as inventor of the staff abides and pervades. In his Notation of Polyphonic Music, Willi Apel writes of “the staff, that ingenious invention of Guido of Arezzo.”3 As Claude Palisca puts it in his biography of Guido, it was that medieval Italian music writer’s prologue to his antiphoner around 1030 that contained one of the “brilliant proposals that launched the Guido legend, the device of staff notation.”4 “Guido’s introduction of a system of four lines and four spaces” is, in Paul Henry Lang’s widely read history, an “achievement” deemed “one of the most signiﬁcant in

A History of Making Metal Pen Nibs
Before the introduction of modern metals, reed, bamboo, and large bird feathers were the staple materials of writing pens. These pens were cheap to make, but it took skill and ust who invented the metal pen nib is lost to history. American, practice to cut and shape them English, French, and German mechanics each claim to have invented the metal dip pen nib. They seem to be claiming second place, though. In February, 1933, the Paper-Zeitung of Vienna wrote: “There are grounds for into serviceable dip pens. They also the belief that the first fountain pen was in existence about 4000 B. C. During the course of excavatings in Egypt in 1929, a hollow stem in the form and size of a lead pencil was found. didn’t last very long, so it is At the lower end, a piece of copper was fastened, similar to a modern steel pen nib.” understandable that both writers By L.
