The Art of Invention – The Electric Pencil
It is no small wonder that many of the artists down through the years have also been inventors. I’ve taken to looking at patents recently and have found this little gem. Quite ahead of it’s time if I may say so myself.
It incorporates a light bulb near writing point of the pencil that allows you to write in unilluminated environments. It is called the Electric Pencil and it was patented Feb 20th, 1917.
