History of Waterman Pens

A hundred years ago the most commonly used writing instruments was a dip pen; a metal nib set in a wooden handle. This meant constant dipping in an inkwell. Attempts had been made since then to create a fountain pen with an internal reservoir of ink, but no pen could yet deliver a continuous ink flow. This was until Lewis Edson Waterman stepped forwards and invented the first practical fountain pen.

Lewis Edson Waterman started life as an insurance broker in New York. He was meeting an important client on a building site to sign a contract, and he decided to bring a new fountain pen instead of a clunky dip pen. Waterman handed his pen to the client to sign the contract, but disaster struck as the pen refused to write and then leaked ink on the document. As a result Mr Waterman lost the business.

Lewis Waterman was determined to create a fountain pen that people could depend on, He discovered that the poor ink flow was due to the feed system which led the ink to the nib.  He discovered that in order for the feed to be successful it must allow an intake of air to control the ink flow. He subsequently developed the ‘Three Fissure Feed”, feed based on the principle of capillary attraction. Waterman’s feed system was soon used by all manufacturers of fountain pens.
