My favourite invention project

1. My favourite invention: Bic Crystal Pen
The Bic Crystal Pen was invented by
Marcel Bich in France in 1950.
INVENTOR
Marcel Bich (Turin 1914 - Paris 1994) lived
in Italy, Spain and France and founded the
Bic company that made pens and pencils.
They bought the patent for a pen from
László Bíró and started producing this
successful model.
THE INVENTION
This pen was first produced in France and then in 1959 it was sold in the USA
and then all over the world. It was a very successful invention because it is
reliable and very cheap. In 2006 it sold the 100,000,000,000th (one hundred
billionth) and was declared the best selling pen in the world.
TYPES
Now there are many different variants: ink colours, different colour plastic cover,
with or without a cap, but it is still an excellent pen for anyone.
