楼主不贴,我就帮一下忙吧。内容也没我想像的多嘛。<br/><br/><h1 class="firstHeading"> arker 51</h1>
<h3 id="siteSub">From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>

<p>The <b> arker 51</b>, introduced in <a title="1941" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941">1941</a>, may well be the most famous <a title="Fountain pen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_pen">fountain pen</a> ever made. <a title="The Parker Pen Company" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Parker_Pen_Company"> arker</a>’s
period advertising called it “The World’s Most Wanted Pen,” and this
assertion was true although a little deceptive; the U.S.A. entered <a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">World War II</a> in December 1941, and the <a title="War Production Board" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Production_Board">War Production Board</a>
placed severe restrictions on production of pens for civilian sale.
Parker's continued advertising during the war created a demand that
took several years to fulfill after the end of the war. The pen was
developed for use with Parker's revolutionary quick dry ink, whose high
alkalinity and isopropyl alcohol content were fatally corrosive to the <a title=" yralin" class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pyralin&action=edit">pyralin</a> then used for the bodies of most pens (including the Parker <a title="Vacumatic" class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vacumatic&action=edit">Vacumatic</a>, the company's flagship pen during the 1930s). Making the pen's body and inner cap of a new plastic called <a title="Lucite" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucite">Lucite</a>,
just coming into use for airplane canopies, solved the corrosion
problem. The pen and the ink were both named "51" to mark 1939, the
company's 51st year of existence, during which development was
completed (U.S. design <a title=" atent" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent">patent</a>
No. 116,097). By giving the pen a number instead of a name, Parker
avoided the problem of translating a name into other languages.</p>
<p>With various refinements, the "51" stayed in production until <a title="1972" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972">1972</a>. The most significant design change came in <a title="1948" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948">1948</a>,
with the introduction of a much improved filling system. At the same
time, Parker reformulated its ink, reducing the alkalinity, adding a
selection of brilliant colors, and calling the new product Superchrome.</p>
<p>The "51" is among the most popular pen models sought out by pen collectors, and in <a title="2002" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002">2002</a> Parker issued a lookalike model called the the 51 Special Edition. The elegant design is practically timeless, and in <a title="2004" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004">2004</a> it resurfaced with the release of the <a title=" arker 100" class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parker_100&action=edit"> arker 100</a>, a larger, heavier pen with truly modern styling that is unquestionably a tribute to the looks of its forebear.</p>
<p>The "51" was revolutionary at the time, with its hooded, tubular nib
and multi-finned collector, all designed to work in conjunction with
the pen's proprietary ink, allowing the nib to stay wet and lay down an
even line with either the ultra-fast drying ink or more traditional
inks. The design is so robust and practical that most "51" pens made
since 1948 that are "found in the back of a drawer” can be filled with
ink and used immediately because of their revolutionary <a title=" li-Glass" class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pli-Glass&action=edit"> li-Glass</a> sacs, though earlier Vacumatic-filling units may need restoration to make them operational due to their rubber diaphrams.</p>
<p>The pen's resemblance to the sleek fuselage of the <a title=" -51 Mustang" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-51_Mustang">P-51 Mustang</a>, a <a title="Fighter plane" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_plane">fighter plane</a>
used extensively during the war, had no bearing on its name; but Parker
took advantage of the coincidence by comparing the pen and the plane in
its advertising. Additionally, a pilot who is suspected of falsifying
flight records in their logbook in order to overstate their actual
experience is said to have logged "P-51 hours", relying on the
ambiguity of the term "P-51" to avoid directly confronting the suspect.</p>
