Edson - Disassembled

[Left FPN]

Going through my ever increasing photo files I found this...how could I forget...easy, it was in a L'etalon folder.

 

 

 

Between items 11 and 17 I cannot see a special valve to prevent leakage at 6500 feet.

Hi,

 

About that "special valve." I think something got lost in translation between the technical team and the marketing team as often happens. The feed has a lot of fins to collect the ink that would be pushed out by pressure changes, but it is no "valve." I've had one apart, and it's a pretty normal pen under the hood although it does have a lot of parts. There is that cover at 14 that covers the tip of the feed and gives it a futuristic look. It was always kind of funny to me how such a huge and futuristic looking sceptre pen has such a thin and narrow converter. (In a way kind of like the Sailor King of Pen although the King of Pen has a more traditional look).

Wow. I should have gotten one of those!

Nice pic, Force.

 

Maybe time to start a pinned topic with exploded Waterman sections?

 

How many do you have now?

I only have two, the Carene and Phileas.

 

I have been staring at the above picture and conclude it has either been Photoshoped or the owner had two pens or spare parts because item 15 is a part of item 11.

No escapades on the l'Etalon yet? and the Phileas?

Just my 2 cents ~~~ but I, too, think it would be nice to have a pinned topic on the exploded sections!!!

Thanks for sharing Force.

Both Ernst Bitterman and I (perhaps others) have tried but so far failed with disassembling the L'etalon section. Ernst may have got a little further but I think there was some damage in doing so.

 

As for the Phileas, I could not remove the cap clip which some have found very easy...but then again they probably can't remove a Carene clip

 

Just to make all aware the above disassembly is not my doing...

 

Maybe we should ask Mr Goulet for his assistance.

Good grief! You mean all that stuff is inside an Edson! I would never have known.
