http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question31647.html:The letter 'H' is used to indicate a hard pencil. The letter 'B' is used to indicate a soft lead that gives a black result. Harder pencils make finer lines and softer make thick heavy lines.
It's a continuum. H (2H, 4H, etc) are the harder leads, and therefore draw a lighter line; and B (2B, 4B, etc) are the softer leads, and therefore draw a darker line. HB is the very middle. The larger the number, the farther away from HB it is. So for instance, 6B will be darker than 2B, and 4H would be lighter than 2H.

The standard writing pencil is graded HB. According to Petroski, this system might have been developed in the early 1900s by Brookman, an English pencil maker. It used "B" for black and "H" for hard; a pencil's grade was described by a sequence or successive Hs or Bs such as BB and BBBfor successively softer leads, and HH and HHH for successively harder ones.
