Does not mean they are always stiff manifolds but they are more rare to find with flexible tines, as the industry shifted to ballpoint pens in the 1940's. These nibs served bookkeepers and clerks writing small, exact figures all day and the soft springy gold nib made writing much less tiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuned at the bench, the tipping smoothed and brought up to a polish, then heat-set over a matched ebonite feed in the Nikko black ebonite JOWO #6 housing and writing-tested as a complete unit.
