This patent is a second point that bears witness of the presence, at least in early years, of a strong link with OMAS. The image of the filling mechanism used by these patented pens, present on the The King catalog found in the Omas archives and on this advertisement, is in fact identical to the one on an Armando Simoni patent (nº US-1784078), that in the French version appears to have been achieved in Italy in 1929. A further indication that somehow it was the OMAS to provide technology to the The King in the early years of this company.Around the 1934, the The King Società Anonima Torino changed name in Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana Stilografiche and the production adopted the brand Radius, even though there are presumably contemporary examples use of the mark the King. Initially not precisely known,[1] the date of the name change to SAFIS is now well known; the Radius brand was recorded in 1934 with the new name, and the exact date July, 6 1934, results from the test of the comunication of the name change to the "Consiglio Provinciale dell'Industria".[2]
