Fisher Space Pen Review & Pen Giveaway ~ Ends 4/3

by **Litlbel** Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:57 pm

In the 1950's there were dozens of ballpoint models, and nearly every one took a different cartridge. In 1953 Paul Fisher invented the "Universal Refill" which could be used in most pens. It was a good seller, since stationery store owners could reduce their stock of assorted refills.

Not content, Paul continued to work on making a better refill. After much experimentation he perfected a refill using thixotropic ink-semisolid until the shearing action of the rolling ball liquefied it-that would flow only when needed. The cartridge was pressurized with nitrogen so that it didn't rely on gravity to make it work. It was dependable in freezing cold and desert heat. It could also write underwater and upside down. The trick was to have the ink flow when you wanted it to, and not to flow the rest of the time, a problem Fisher solved. Fisher's development couldn't have come at a more opportune time. The space race was on, and the astronauts involved in the Mercury and Gemini missions had been using pencils to take notes in space since standard ball points did not work in zero gravity. The Fisher cartridge did work in the weightlessness of outer space and the astronauts, beginning with the October, 1968 Apollo 7 mission began using the Fisher AG-7 Space Pen and cartridge developed in 1966.
1968 - Fisher Space pens used on Apollo 7 after two years of testing by NASA
1983 - Fisher Space Pen is used by Ronald Reagan to sign the Proclamation inaugurating the Air and Space Bicentennial Year to celebrate Man's first flight in a hot air balloon near Paris France
2006 - Sadly, Paul Fisher passed away at the age of 93. The company continues under the leadership of his son, Cary Fisher and almost 100 seasoned employees, many who have been with the company for many decades

I love Fisher Space Pen Co. it has to be one of the neatest PENS I have ever used. What other PEN can you use in the freezing cold or the heat of the desert. Or write underwater and upside down. Now I know you won't be doing any of those things on a regular basis but you never know, right?
The Fisher Space Pen Co. is just an all around great pen and it fits perfect in your purse since its compacts and still large enough that I can always find it when fishing around in the bottom of my purse.

When closed, Bullet Space Pens are the perfect size to carry in your wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organizer or toolbox. When open it's a full sized, evenly balanced writing instrument.

One Lucky Sampletrain Member will win a
Fisher Space Pen Co.
