Translations:Eversharp/6/en

The activities of Eversharp in the field of writing instruments began in 1914 with the launch of homonym mechanical pencil. For many times it was said that that was the Ever-Sharp pencil created by the Japanese inventor Tokuji Hayakawa, that two years earlier had founded in Tokyo a homonym company, today still active as Sharp. In reality subsequent searches have shown that the pencil Eversharp was invented by Charles Keeran in 1913, and then the invention was sold for production to the Wahl Adding Machine.
