Indeed I do know what a "fountain pen" is.?? We have a local business man here 
in Lincoln who is quite a history expert and writes a column each week for our 
Sunday paper...His headline along with his name and picture includes the 
line..."Who still writes with a fountain pen"

Do you remember the bottles of ink with a little "well" on one side just inside 
the mouth where you could tip the bottle and get just a small amout of ink to 
fill your pen...Also..another test question..Do you remember the brand name of 
the ink most popularly used in fountain pens.

Someone else mentioned something about Eversharp which was a brand name of a 
mechanical pencil...maybe the first one...It did also become the "generic" name 
for any mechanical pencil....in the same way that...in the early days any 
refrigerator was called a 'Frigidaire" even though it might be a GE or 
Westinghouse etc....ie in the earlier days of copiers...Any machine which made 
copies was called a '"Xerox"....You get the idea.

Speaking of old radio quiz programs...way off topic now....anybody remember one 
called "The Quiz Kids"...if you do who was the most famous "kid" who 
participated????

Now to make a "token effort" to relate to a railroad matter....In the matter of 
making copies.....How were copies of Train Orders made?...The rules required 
that these be prepared in "manifold"...ie more than one copy was necesary.? On 
the Q there was one for the head end and one for the rear end on freight trains 
and on passenger trains there was one for the engine crew, one for the 
conductor and one for the flagman.? Also the operator was required to keep one 
copy for his office file.

Also what were the form numbers for the two basic types of TO's and how were 
colors used to designate the two types.

Pete

did these comments come from."

I'm sure I qualify! These are from an OLD radio program called "Doctor 
I.Q." Eversharp was (is?) a brand of mechanical pencils and fountain pens. 
They sponsored the show. Which leads to another question: You do know what 
a fountain pen is, don't you?

Radio: Television without the pictures.
