A few weekends back, I spent a day cleaning out this set of Rotring Rapidograph pens that I found in a charity shop years ago. My guess is that they are at least 80s, because the accompanying instructions in the box refer to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Anyway, I ordered some ink (from Germany of all places) and I'm very surprised to report that all of them still work. I need to get more proficient at refilling them though. There was ink everywhere.

In Birmingham library we saw very detailed, tiny, handwritten texts as street names on maps.
Next, in the pen museum we saw the precision instruments that the cartographers probably used. The sales samples of the pens, illustrating thier use, are fabulous artworks
