Riga 6: − In 1902 ''Seth Sears Crocker'' founded in Boston the ''Crocker Pen Company''. At that time companies were founded almost always following the completion of some technical innovation, for [[Crocker]] this was a new filling system called ''[[blow filler]]'' as based on compression of a rubber sac to be carried out by blowing into the body of the pen by a hole on the bottom.+ − − [[Crocker]] produced good quality pens and its the filling system was effective, even if it was somewhat uncomfortable to use; so soon it was replaced by the so-called ''[[hatchet filler]]'', a loading system realized using a lever attached to the back of the pen, made in this way to circumvent [[Sheaffer]] patents. ''Seth Crocker'' left the business in 1920 and his son, ''Seth Crocker Chilton'' took over the conduct of the company that was moved from Boston to New York. − + Riga 32:

In 1923 ''Seth Chilton Crocker'' entered directly in the fountain pen market founding in Boston a new company with its own name: the ''Chilton Pen Company''. The following year he launched the first model of the new company. It was a ordinary ''[[flattop]]'' hard rubber pen, but it was using an ingenious [[pneumatic filler|pneumatic filling system]] evolved from the ''[[blow filler]]'' invented by his father. That mechanism was essentially a precursor of the ''[[touchdown filler]]'' that [[Sheaffer]] will introduce just over 20 years later.

The [[pneumatic filler|pneumatic filling system]] used by [[Chilton]] is based on compression made by sliding the outside shaft of the pen over a internal metal cylinder which encloses the ink sac like a pump piston. The sliding barrel is equipped with a hole on the bottom that must be hold closed with a finger in the process of pushing it down for compression, but once opened it allow the expansion of the ink sac and the subsequent filling.

In 1941, after having produced some low quality economic pens (the ''Chiltonian'', sold mainly by correspondence), [[Chilton]], unable to generate sufficient sales, closed its doors and ceased operations.
