Grease pencils were also widely used during the mid-20th century in aircraft control centers, military radar defense system stations on land and in aircraft carriers in particular. Contrary to the belief that pencil leads are made of lead, the material is not used at all in the production of this popular writing and drawing instrument. It is often used as a construction or handyman's marking tool as it rarely scratches the surface it is used on. They may also be used to mark wood, brick and metal, making them extremely popular amongst tradesmen, as well as crafters and artists. As the lead is still very soft and bendy at this point, it has to be baked in the oven at a very high temperature.

For perfect writing and drawing results, you not only need high-quality pencils, but also the right accessories.

No matter what you use a pencil for - for drawing or writing - a sharp lead is required at all times. That’s why you will find a large selection of erasers, sharpeners and much more in the STAEDTLER range. In the days when broadcast studios had a library of LP records, a track which was prohibited from public performance could be defaced by a wavy white or yellow chinagraph line, giving a visible warning to the presenter as well as making that track unusable. Surfaces used with grease pencils include glass, rock, polished stone, plastic, ceramics, acetate, and other glazed, lacquered or polished surfaces, and metal, as well as the glossy paper that is used for photographic printing (particularly for contact sheets), x-rays, maps, and for marking edits on analog audio tape and film.
