Scissors

 

Scissors

Scissors have ancient roots. The oldest scissors have been dated to between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. These ancient scissors were a single piece of metal that was bent. It was bent so that the  two cutting blades were near each other.  The user would press them together. The innovation of making the scissors out of two pieces of metal with a screw or rivet fulcrum has been lost to history. We do know that in 1761 Robert Hinchliffe developed a steel-casting method for scissor blades. When they were attached to each other and handles added, they looked nearly identical to the scissors we know today.

Prince Henry the Navigator

 

Prince Henry the Navigator 

In the 1400s, people were fascinated with the lands of the East. Since the invention of the printing press, folks were finding out new information about far away places. One book caught their attention; a book written by Marco Polo. Traveling through the lands of India and China, Polo documented the beautiful sites and amazing riches of these lands. Increasingly, people all over Europe wanted things from these faraway places. Unfortunately, getting there and back proved to be very difficult and dangerous. The only known route to China and India was across Islamic territory, where rival Islamic empires were fighting for control of the land. There had to be another way to get to the fascinating lands of the East. 

Prince Henry, born in 1394 to the King of Portugal, thought he might be able to find another way to India and China. Having an interest in ship building and navigation, he envisioned a navigable route around the coast of Africa to the lands of the East. He established a school of navigation in Portugal’s capital city. Soon many of the world’s most renowned navigators, cartographers, and astronomers were drawn to Portugal. During Prince Henry’s lifetime he sent over 50 expeditions looking for a route around the coast of Africa in hopes of reaching China. His explorers never did reach China, but he paved the way for other explorers who found many interesting places.

Christopher Columbus

 

    Christopher Columbus was born in 1436, in Genoa, Italy. When he was a child, he developed a great interest in maps and astronomy. His studies of maps and astronomy led him to believe the world was round. This was unusual in the 1400s because at that time, most people thought the earth was flat. Ultimately Columbus’ studies led him to speculate that the best route to the East Indies would be to sail due west. He charted his course to reach the East. His plans were to land on the shores of the Indies, which is present day Japan. The only barrier to setting sail was a lack of money.  After 18 years of presenting his plan before the kings and queens of many nations, finally one Queen agreed. Queen Isabella, of Portugal, sponsored his voyage. Excited about the possibilities, Christopher Columbus made plans to embark.

 In 1492, Columbus began on his journey and set sail due west. He sailed with three ships, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. After a little over two months of sailing things became very difficult. He was  dealing with fearful, nearly mutinous sailors. At last they spotted land. Presuming they had sailed to the Indies, so Columbus named the people they met “Indians.” While the languages and the gifts Columbus received from these people were not what he expected, he continued to believe he had reached his destination. Natives of the land did not bring  the spices and silks he was expecting. These Indians brought Columbus parrots, cotton bolls, sweet potatoes, green peppers, and pineapples.  

Queen Isabella was pleased with Columbus’ find and agreed to pay for several more trips to the “Indies.” Columbus died thinking he had found a route to the East by sailing west. What he actually discovered was much greater.

Ballpoint Pens

The first ballpoint pen was invented in 1888 by a leather tanner named John Laud. However, they were never mass produced.  Over the next thirty years many subsequent ballpoint pen designs were mass produced. The ink in these pens always caused a problem. If the ink was too thin, the pen would leak. If it was too thick, it would clog. In certain weather conditions depending on pressure or temperature, they could actually do both.

Two men eventually solved this problem of the ballpoint pen once and for all. The first, Patrick J. Frawley, Jr., made a pen with a no-smudge, no-smear, and washable ink. It was also the first of its kind to have a retractable tip. He called his pen the "Papermate. " This is the name it holds to this day.

The other innovator of the time was a Frenchman by the name of Marcel Bich. He wanted to introduce an inexpensive, clear-barreled, non-leaking ballpoint pen with a smooth stroke. In 1952, Bich introduced the "Ballpoint Bic., a name now synonymous with ballpoint pens.
