[CW] writing pens

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

I did a comparison 20 years ago when I needed to take my 25 wpm code test in
front of the FCC in Boston for my 1st class telegraph license.

I actually timed myself and found out which pen I could copy 25 wpm with -
the winner:  Write Bros. pen.

I also found the "other" test.

To write fast, a pen (or pencil) must write a solid line under its own
weight.  That is by taking the top of the pen in your fingers and draging it
across a piece of paper.  NO pressure is on the pen other than its own
weight.

Pens that do this are:  Uniball roller writers and Standford roller writers.

TRY before you buy - you will immediately see the difference.
