Subject: Re: Pencils?
Joe,
=09I went down to the nearby campus book store and bought a
mechanical pencil that had almost no metallic parts to it.  Even after
disassembly I could only spot one piece of metal in the thing and it only
cost me $1.95.  I got the .7mm lead size and have been using the same
pencil for 14 months now with only occasional reloads of lead and no
rusting has been noticed.  I use HB lead which is the same as #2 and the
pancil I got has a built in retractable eraser and I have not gotten
anywhere near the end of the eraser stick.
=09Hope this helps.
