A few years later, Wedgwood developed ideas on how to copy private or business letters and other documents. These copies were made at the time of writing of this article and are dependent on ink impregnated paper Wedgwood calls "carbonated paper". The author used one of the carbon sheets to write a black copy on another piece of paper placed under it, writing on a piece of paper that was sufficiently transparent using a metal stylus. The other paper is good quality writing paper, and the "copy" above it constitutes the original. The reserved copy is inverted below the transparent top layer, but since the paper is very thin (we know the "paper towel" paper) it can be read from the other side.
John J. Loud tried to make a pen that can be written with a unique material other than paper, invented the first ball pen in the United States in 1888 and got a patent. Because this pen contains a small steel ball, you can not move it with the part of the pen that does not move, but you can still scroll through the ink. The present invention can not be used for writing. After a long absence, many people tried to improve the design but failed. The ink is uneven or spilling and blocking the pen. In the early 20th century, Hungarian editor László Bíró tried to create a pen that could be quickly dried without soiling. As he realized that the ink used to print the newspaper dried quickly, he and his chemist brothers began trying to use the pen. They create a ballpoint pen that does not dry the ink by combining a sticky ink and a ball and socket mechanism, but there are still traces left when used.
