Museum Absolutely Refused To House This World War 2 Uniform After Searching Through The Pockets

Ballpoint pen

We all know just irritating it gets when a fountain pen leaks. To tackle this tendency to smudge, journalist and artist Laszlo Biro made it a point to come up with what we now call a ballpoint pen. He made this after he found an ink that could dry off immediately at a printing press. With help from George his brother who is a scientist, the ballpoint pen was manufactured in 1938.
