Dear Faldage: A fountain pen used liquid ink contained in a rubber bladder that was
compressed to drive out air, and let resulting vacuum draw up ink. A leading maker
of liquid in pens said that the ballpoint was the only pen that would make six carbon
copies but no original. The ball points sixty years ago were maddeningly unreliable.
The Parkers I spent big bucks on then are now junk.
