That Iridium ( oold Hi* t'aeri Koi 1
Protect in IK the I’oluta, anil the Ter-
leet l*en Itenalted*
To tin American If due the credit
for having made the fountain pen the
useful article It has come to lie, for
without the gold pen point, which ran-
not corrode, die fountain pen would he
useless.
The manufacture of gold pens wn«
commenced in the 1‘nlted States in 1SiLi
by ii watchmaker of Detroit. Attempts
hud hecii made in Kugiiiud to make
gold pells prior to thnt time, tint they
met with little success. Alloyed gold
is loo soft to make a durable point, and
this circumstance made it necessary
to protect the pen points xxitli dia
monds or rubles until John Isaac Haw
kins, a citizen of (lie t'nited States, hut
residing In Kngland while the experi
ments in tin* manufacturing of gold
pens were In progress there, accidental
ly discovered that the native alloy of
iridium and osmium ore, oue of the
hardest ami most refractory of all me
tallic alloys, could be used for protect
ing the points to much better advan
tage and more cheaply.
Hawkins' rights were purchased by a
clergyman of Detroit, xvho Induced the
xvatclnnnker above mentioned to initiltl-
facturc gold pens. The tirst pens made
b.v [dm were poor biihstlHiles for the
quill then In use. In 1840 his plant
xvas taken to New York, where the
business was eitlfirgeil.
(Julie an improvement was added to
the plant by the machines for the mak
ing and tempering of the pens, Invent
ed by John Itendell, one of the em
ployees of the establishment. This es
tablishment soon produced h gold pen
so perfect that It combined the elas-
tIcily of the quill with the permanency
of the melnl. About 1N50 It was dis
covered that by Imbedding tlie Iridium
pollita iu (lie gold inslead of soldering
tbcin on the corrosive Influence of the
Ink on the two metals, the solder and
tlie gold, was avoided and u tinner
bold In tlie pen was given to ttie points.
The gold pen lias been brought to Its
present degree of perfection b.v the
American manufacturer, ami tlie in
dustry from Ita Inception has been
characterized by the use of American
methods. For the production of the
gold pen a high degree of skill Is neces
sary, and only experts are employed
In the different plants.
The gold used In th" making of the
pens is obtained from the United
States assay office. It Is then melted
and alloyed about sixteen carats tine
and rolled into a long, narrow ribbon,
from which pen blanks or tint plates
in the shape of a pen, hut considerably
thicker than the Itutsbed pen, arc cut
l»j means of a lever press or die anil
punch. The blunt nib of tlie blank is
notched or recessed at the end to re-
'celve tlie iridium that forms tlie ex
ceedingly hard point which all good
pens possess.
The iridium Is coated with a cream
of borax ground In water and laid in
the notch formed In the end of the
blank. II is then secured by a process
of sweating, which Is nothing more or
less than melting the gold of which the
pen I" formed so that It unites solidly
with the Iridium. The blank is then
d between rollers of peculiar
foi iu to give a gradually diminishing
thickness from the point backward.
The rolls have a small cavity In which
tlie extreme end of the iridium pointed
nib Is placed to prevent Injury to the
Iridium. After rolling the nib of every
pen Is stiffened and rendered spongy
by hammering.
This Is the most Important process
In the manufacture of the pen, as the
elasticity of tlie peu depends entirely
upon this operation. The pen is then
trimmed by a press similar to that
which is used for cutting out tlie
blanks or by automatic machinery.
When the blank has been trimmed the
name of the manufacturer and tlie
number of the pen are stamped on It
by means of a screw press.
The pon ts given Its convex surface
also by moans of a screw press, the
blank being pressed between h concave
die beueatli and a convex one above.
Quite a little force Is necessary to
bring the pen to tlie required convex
ity. and xvheu this operation Is com
pleted two jnws approach the tdank
and press It up on opposite edges, thua
giving the pen Its final shape.
The next step Is to cut the Iridium
Into two points by holding it on the
edge of a thin copper disk xvhieh Is
charged with tine emery and oil and
revolves at a high speed. The nib is
then slit by a machine and the slit
cleared by means of a fine circular
saxv. After slitting, the nibs
brought together by hammering, and
the pen is burnished on the Inside by h
concave form and on the outside by a
convex form. This is necessary to give
tlie pen a unlfornj surface and greater
elasticity.
These nil's are theu set by tlie. fingers
alone, after which operation die pen is
ground by a lathe with ti thin steel
disk and a copper cylinder, both charg
ed with fine emery and oil. The sift
is Ihen ground by a fine disk, and the
sides of die nibs and the poiuts are
ground upon the copper cylinder. After
tlie grinding is done die pen is polished
upon buff wheels, which completes die
process of manufacture.
Before the peu is placed upon the
market, however, it i* given a thorough
Inspection to see that it possesses the
proper etastietty. fineness and weight,
then passed to an Inspector who tests
it and weighs it.—Chicago Chronicle.
Ofleer Instruments In tlnrTnrd Den-
ml School** 4 (illeotlon.
Like niauj other of the "new ’ pro-
testdotiH. dentistry is a very old one.
It is known that 4on years before die
iiegitiiilng of the Christian era Egyp
tian dentists tilled teolu with gold, but
no trace of their methods of doing their
work has ever been found. Aescula
pius, the patrou of physicians, xvas tho
first fatuous dentist iu Roman history,
and the old Romans used a toothpick
very much like the little wooden one
that is made today. The Arabians
ages ago produced a dentifrice, but It
soon seemed to be very generally used.
The story of dentistry Is told In the
Instruments It lias employed. As they
are known today they had their be
ginning iu the sixteenth century, but
their evolution has been slow. In the
Harvard Dental school In Boston there
is a collection of Instruments used by
dentists In the first half of the last cen
tury. due of the formidable tools it
Includes Is what was railed a key,
doubtless from its peculiar shape,
which was used for extracting teeth,
the process being to slowly and pain
fully twist and pry the offending molar
out of Its place. In order that no mis
take should be made the dentist began
operations by hammering and prod
ding one tooth after another xxitli a
sold of bludgeon until he had satisfied
himself not to mention the tortured
patient—that he had found the most
sensitive one and therefore the most
likely candidate for extraction.
The grandfathers of the delicate steel
tools that lie In rows on the modern
dentist’s table were small In number,
but large In awfulness. There are in
the Harvard collection chisels and mal
lets, rude forceps for removing Hie
teeth, miniature crowbars used to re
pair cavities for filling, files for sharp-
oiling tlie cutting and grinding sur
faces of teeth and one particularly
horrid Instrument, known as the pel
ican, with which teeth xvero “lifted.”
Hoxv rapidly aud recently dentistry
has become one of the Important
sciences appears in the fact that In
the middle of the last century black
smiths were doing their best—or worst
. _to relieve the victims of the tooth
ache, while today Institutions like the
Harvard Dental school attract stu
dents from all over the world. Be
sides, while It xvas sure torture to go
to the dentist In the so called “good
old clays," such a visit now Is com
paratively comfortable, so far has the
profession gone In the direction of per
forming its operations without caus
ing pula.
