Faber-Castell Loom

2019-11-28T17:20:59Z

| name = Loom
| manufacturer = [[Made by::Faber-Castell]]
| type = [[Ballpoint_pen|Ballpoint]], [[Fountain_pen|Fountain]], [[Rollerball_pen|Rollerball]]
| refill = [[Cartridge]], [[Converter]]
| made_in = [[Made in::Germany]]

}}

The Loom is a line of pens in [[Faber-Castell|Faber-Castell's]] fine writing collection<ref>[https://www.faber-castell.com/products/loom]English-language Faber-Castell product-page for the Loom</ref>. It is available in fountain, ballpoint and rollerball varieties.

The fountain and rollerball pens have each have a cylindrical metallic barrel and grip section while the cap is made out of plastic, with a flat end and spring clip.
The Faber Castell Loom comes in two variants, metallic and piano. Both versions come in a variety of cap colors. The main difference between the two is the fact that the barrel is brushed in the metallic version and high polish in the piano version. The grip comes on both models brushed. The grip is thick with a series of circles that are comfortable and offer enough grip.
The fountain pen is on the heavy sizes of fountain pens, and top heavy. If you post the cap the fountain pen becomes more balanced but the length of the fountain is considerable. Because of the weight, the fountain pen glides on the paper whit very little effort.
The nibs are available in EF, F, M, B, and are the same nibs shared with the models Basic, Ondoro, Emotion, Ambition. The nib are small and do not offer flex but write very well. The nib produces quite a lot of sound during writing but you can't feel the feedback.
The nib has a very nice design with dots and the Faber Castell logo embossed.
The cap is in an accent color very different from the rest of the pen. Because it is plastic it is very lite. The exact opposite of the rest of the fountain pen. But this is a feature I think was done intentionally to keep the weight of the pen manageable especially for those who like to post the cap. The quality of the plastic is not the best, especially the clip which can't take too much abuse.
It is very hard to take the cap off the fountain pen, making this fountain pen not the best one for taking quick notes. But because of the very good seal, the nib doesn't dry even if the fountain pen is left unused for a couple of weeks.
The Loom takes standard international cartridges, long cartridges or a converter, but you have to buy the converter separately.

The ballpoint version is capless – rotating to reveal the end of the pen.

Rotring 500

[[Category:Mechanical Pencil]]
The Rotring 500 is the little brother of the 600 series. It shares the same looks but has a plastic barrel instead of metal. The grip is made from metal and has knurlings the same as the lead hardness indicator. 
Nowadays it comes in sizes 0.5 and 0.7 only in black while the Rotring 600 can be found in silver as well. 

This was not always the case. 
<gallery>
Rotring 500 1990 mechanical pencil.PNG
</gallery>
The first appearance of the Rotring 500 is around 1989 - 1990, about the same time the rotating 600 appeared on the market.
When it came out the pencil was available in 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm and the grip and lead harness indicator sections were silver while the rest of the pencil was black
The codes for the pencil were: 

502 503 (0.3 mm) 

502 505 (0.5 mm) 

502 507 (0.7 mm) 

502 509 (0.9 mm) 

Notice that Rotring was using lead size notations 0.3 mm and 0.9 mm. Nowadays the 0.3 mm became 0.35 mm and the 0.9 mm became 1.0 mm.
This looks like a very serious drafting pencil, and it is. It has a Rotring classic design, it is built very well with precision and comfort in mind, but the times have changed. If you could buy this serious tool in all drafting sizes, now it is available only in 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm. These are the most common sizes used nowadays for general writing. So even the most die-hard drafting pencils are becoming regular mechanical pencils with a peculiar design.
