	Parker Vacumatic - Biocrawler
		The pen was originally named the Golden Arrow, a reference to the new arrow clip which would go on to become a Parker trademark, appearing in some form on almost all of Parker’s subsequent pens.
		The Vacumatic featured a brand new filling mechanism—instead of the collapsible sac all Parker self-fillers up to that point had used, the Vacumatic featured a diaphragm that expanded into the barrel of the pen.
		Because the entire barrel could thus be filled, the Vacumatic boasted a much higher ink capacity than the Duofold it replaced.

	penspotters :: Parker Vacumatic
		The Vacumatic filler unit evolved over time; originally, it was made largely of aluminum, and was designed to stow away in the down position (with its internal coil spring fully tensed).
		Although Parker offered incentives on the Duofold in the early 1930s to clear its inventories, the Duofold name never really disappeared completely; in the late 1930s, a new line of Duofolds was introduced, some using Vacumatic fillers but having distinct plastics, shapes, and trim.
		Vacumatic production continued throughout the second world war, and ceased in the US around 1948, by which time Parker had made a complete transition to casting of solid-color pen barrels (a process they started with the model 51).

	Parker Pens
		Parker should be a familiar name to anyone who pays attention to pens; their Jotter ballpoints are everywhere, and they have a pretty good reputation in the higher end as well.
		Parker enthusiasts consider the Parker 51 to be the most significant pen that Parker has ever produced and arguably the most significant fountain pen of the 20th century.
		Parker acquired the design from Eversharp (who to my knowledge folded before they brought this design to market) and it was released around the same time (possibly before?) the Parker 45 and were sold at the same time.

	Parker Vacumatics
		The Vacumatic and the saturation advertising campaign that supported it touched off a craze for vacuum and piston filling pens, as other companies scrambled to develop their models, none of which were as durable as the Vacumatic.
		Following the recipe of the Duofolds, Parker started to produce a more streamlined version of the Vacumatic (the Standard and the Slender however remained "square" until their last year, 1939, when they also were streamlined).
		The new Parker Arrow clip first appeared on the Junior Debutante model in 1938 but was fitted to all Vacumatics in 1939 The Top Line also had the Blue Diamond design, which ensured lifetime guarantee for it's original owner.

	Profile: The Parker Vacumatic
		To the lower right two servicemen are expressing their desire for a Parker; the U.S.A. was ramping up to the war that everyone knew was coming, and Parker pens, with a clip design that allowed the user to button his pocket flap over the pen in accordance with regulations, were popular in the military.
		Advertising with the Vacumatic name began appearing in late September, and with that name change and some minor aesthetic tweaks, the stage was set for the birth of a legend.
		During its lifetime, the Vacumatic provided design features for the Striped Duofold and the “51”; these models used the same mechanical clip design (and on the “51”, the identical aesthetics as well) and the proven Vacumatic filler.

	Parker 51 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Parker 51, introduced in 1941, may well be the most famous fountain pen ever made.
		The pen was developed for use with Parker's revolutionary quick dry ink, whose high alkalinity and isopropyl alcohol content were fatally corrosive to the pyralin then used for the bodies of most pens (including the Parker Vacumatic, the company's flagship pen during the 1930s).
		The elegant design is practically timeless, and in 2004 it resurfaced with the release of the Parker 100, a larger, heavier pen with truly modern styling that is unquestionably a tribute to the looks of its forebear.
