Answer 4

A ballpoint pen, in many countries also eponymously called a bíró (pronounced bee-row or bye-row depending on location), is a writing instrument, more specifically a pen, similar to a pencil in size and shape. The pens have an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at the tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere (0.7 mm to 1 mm in diameter); the ink dries almost immediately after contact with paper. Inexpensive, reliable and maintenance-free, they have almost completely replaced the fountain pen.

The modern ball point pen was invented in 1938 by the Hungarian born journalist László Bíró (a naturalised Argentine), who noticed that the ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free.

In the 1930s Bíró was working as the editor of a small newspaper. Bíró was frustrated by the amount of time that he wasted in filling up fountain pens and cleaning up smudged pages. The sharp tip of his fountain pen often tore his pages too. Bíró had noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge free. He decided to create a pen using same type of ink. Since, when tried, this viscous ink would not flow into a regular fountain pen nib, Bíró--with the help of his brother George, a chemist--began to work on designing new types of pens. Bíró fitted this pen with a tiny ball bearing in its tip that was free to turn in a socket. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rotated, picking up ink from the ink cartridge and leaving it on the paper. Bíró filed a British patent on 15 June, 1938.

Answer 5

An excellent answer by Lover, but may I add a little bit of trivia:

Pilots in the Second World War discovered that their ordinary pens would leak when the air pressure got too great at height. Biro's do not. The 'refill' which is open at one end, compensates for the air pressure......................

Answer 6

There is no such thing as the second inventor of anything. If you want to know who invented the ballpoint pen, then ask who invented it. The second person didn't invent anything, because it has already been invented.
The ballpoint pen was invented by a chap named Biro.
