Spare pencil lead for mechanical pencils weighs 3 grams
The graphite rod was housed in a metal tube and could be extended to an appropriate length as required. This invention influenced the development of a whole group of products in common use today. The simplest design is the mechanical pencil with a 2mm lead, where the lead is held in place by metal clamps - collets (hence the other name 'collet pencil').
