The Story of the Pencil
This link goes to Pencils.com and it’s loaded with Pencil information and fun.
The amazing pencil, technology and tradition
One pencil has the potential to draw a line 35 miles long, write an average of 45,000 words, absorb 17 sharpenings, delete it’s own errors and beat out an infinite number of drum solos. But let’s get right to the point. Because pencils are so useful and so dominant in daily life, they tend to be taken for granted. And yet, it’s a fact that pencils truly are one of the greatest technological inventions of all times, the original tech toy, providing the springboard for launching all expressions of art, design and communications.
Here’s a myth buster: There is no lead in pencils. Rather, the core is made up of a non-toxic mineral called graphite. The common name “pencil lead” is due to an historic association with the stylus made of lead in ancient Roman times.
