  Probably the most important rocket launch in our history. I watched television for almost 4 days straight.

  I watched this in real life as an 11 year old kid. What an amazing time in my life.

  I've been asking myself what's going on in music these days lately. I'm over 70 now, and I go through phases when I don't listen to music at all, isn't that sad? Part of it is living in the country.... it's so quiet here, the animal sounds are musical.... but I grew up in an era when music was a cultural phenomenon and I miss that (and I miss playing, which I used to do every day, am I depressed or what?) - thank you kindly for reminding me - cheers!

  At school in the mid-Sixties I had a fountain pen with a glass nib like that. I had quite a few different fountain pens. I liked the ones with a syringe filler, they held a lot of ink. I still have a few fountain pens I have kept for nostalgia's sake, but I don't use them. My preferred "carry while going out" pen is the Parker rollerball type with liquid ink cartridges. Simple and reliable, but a bit more individualistic than a plastic BIC.

  Try the Platinum Preppy. It's a cheap fountain pen that takes cartridges, but you can "eyedropper" it really easily. What you do is coat the threads of the section in silicon grease, then you fill the body of the pen with an eyedropper and screw the section back on. It holds lots of ink and lasts a long time, and the body is clear so you can see the ink. An excellent cheap pen that doesn't dry out - I've left mine for months at a time and they always write. The best part is that it's less than ten bucks, so makes a stress free EDC pocket pen. You can get the converter for it, but it costs more than the pen, so most people just eyedropper them or refill the cartridges with their favourite fountain pen ink.

  @@Chrisamic Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't be watching Fran if I wasn't a techie, but that's a bit far for me. :-)

  Are there any recordings available of the organ playing (did the shop sell anything like this)? How large is its repertoire?

  It is not automated, organists all have their own charts.

  I remember the website up until around 2015 I think was the last update. They still sold tvs but last I saw its a dead page.

  Several of these units were used in the Control Rooms at Oconee Nuclear Station, where I worked as Senior Reactor Operator. One displayed the Electrcal Generator Output, which was about 900 Megawatts. They worked well but had to replace bulbs frequently.

  Would they have used inkwells made of material with a bit more compliance to protect the glass nib a bit?

• 
  @Chrisamic14 сағат бұрын

  No, most old inkwells were metal, or a metal case with glass jar or tube. Later Bakelite inkwells were a thing, but most still had a glass liner. I find the travel inkwells fascinating. They were the only option if you wanted to write while traveling but didn't want to take a large clumsy bottle. The designs usually had anti spill features and sealed completely, but it's very hard to find good working examples these days. Mostly the seals are rotted away, and I suspect a good number were dropped and broken, or thrown away as "useless" accoutrements about 120 years ago. Regardless of the pen or the inkwell, dipping your pen is a delicate operation that (surprisingly) takes a bit of practice.

  I think I'll stick with my Lamys for daily stuff, writing prescriptions etc. My daily has a nib that's now rounded with wear and it's now superb. The glass one I'd have broken by now but nice to look at.

  Funny you should mention fingernails on a chalkboard. I was just thinking the glass-on-paper sound was much like chalk on a chalkboard. Very interesting sound for a writing utensil, but probably not universally appreciated. 👍

  Some glass pens have spiral grooves - makes the flow to the end more consistent
