The “newest” revolution in smoothness is the Waverley nib, invented in 1864 by Duncan Cameron and a fixture of the Waverley pens made by MacNiven & Cameron, Ltd, well into the 20th century. All else being equal, a Waverley nib is smoother than an ordinary nib the same size.
Sheaffer discovered the Waverley effect in the 1930s, and the Waverley design’s success onLifetime Balance pens led to the upturned tip of the famous Triumph conical nib, introduced in 1942.
Beginning this month at the Ohio Pen Show, [Richard Binder's] preground extra-fine Pelikan nibs will be Waverleys, and [he'll] be incorporating the Waverley design in other ways over the next few months.
