	Ballpoint pen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pens have an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at the tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere (0.7 mm to 1 mm in diameter); the ink dries almost immediately after contact with paper.
		The modern ball point pen was invented in 1938 by the Hungarian journalist Laszlo Biro, who noticed that the ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free.
		Biro fitted this pen with a tiny ball bearing in its tip that was free to turn in a socket.

		Working with his brother Georg, a chemist, journalist Ladislao "Laszlo" Josef Biro (1899-1985) developed a new tip consisting of a metal ball turning freely in a socket that, as it turns, picks up ink from an interior tube and then deposits it on the paper, where it quickly dries, smudge-free.
		Biro's first vision of this occurred before a massive rotary printing press that flung ink onto the pages, drying instantly as the pages rolled off the press.
		The Biro brothers began their experiments in 1935 in their homeland of Hungary, had the fundamentals of a working pen by 1938, and soon patented their pens in Hungary, France, and Switzerland.

		As a newspaper man Biro became aware that the ink used in printing newspapers was quick-drying and left paper smudge free as well as dry.

		The modern ballpoint is descended from the pens made in the late 1930s by Hungarian Ladislo Biro (or László Bíró, to use the native spelling); when war threatened, he and his brother George moved their operations to Argentina, where they set up the Eterpen company.
		They registered their patent in the UK and in other countries, but not in the U.S., which would eventually lead to a legal conundrum.
		It seems that an Eversharp company executive "discovered" the Eterpen pen while on travel in Buenos Aires, and Eversharp was sufficiently impresssed to obtain a license to the Biro design; after a period of development, they introduced the CA in 1946.
