Very interesting! I had no idea the first version was invented so long ago.

I remember, from a long time ago, the advertisements for BIC pens, ball-pointed pens with Bobby Orr. He would be shooting a puck and having a BIC pen taped to his stick, gliding on the ice while shooting the hockey puck. Something about how durable the ball-point pen was.

If you want to learn more, read: Ballpoint by Gyorgy Moldova (New Europe Books, 2012). It reads like a novel.
