ball pointAnswer:A proper pen has a nib at its tip, not a ball point. A nib is a steel device which i designed to hold a small reserve of ink either filled by dipping into an ink well or by drawing on a bladder in a fountain pen. The nib is split so that increased writing pressure makes a wider mark on the page. A pen nib may be designed for either cursive writing or calligraphy.

A fountain pen is a nib pen that feeds ink the to nib via gravity and a capillary action that allows for smooth writing. They can store ink in the pens body or in an ink cartridge or converter which is can be re-filled with ink from an ink bottle.Major Fountain Pen brands are Parker, Waterman, Lamy, Cross, Montegrappa and many more
The ball is a roller bearing. It reduces the friction as the pen point is slid across the paper. Quill pens use a rounded nib, but the ink distribution can be uneven.
simply, a pen writes as the ink flows down through its nib. the force of gravity is the only thing (in general circumstances) that pulls the ink out. i.e. no gravity, no flow of ink and no writing!
I dipped the nib of the pen into the inkwell to write a letter.
needle? The part of a pen that starts with "n" is NIB. The nib is the writing part of the pen.
If the pen nib is not metal it will be not too smooth to write and can cause complications

The tip of nib of the pen has a slit. Because it gets the ink through slit under the capillarity action. In this action ink move through the slit on the nib of the pen. Which makes it to write.

In my primary schoodays we used dip pens. We had a pen with a nib fixed at the end, and we had to dip the nib into an inkwell after writing a few words ... From time to time the nib wore out and had to be replaced. Fountain pens also have nibs.
