Ink Cages

[Monty]

Thought you might find this interesting.  I have a box of these:

...and noticed some of them fit perfectly around my nibs:.

• 1/4":  Hunt 99, Hunt 56, Gillott 404 not found
  
• 5/32":  Hunt 103
  
• 9/32": Brause Rose

When equipped, they can hold a surprising, almost irresponsible amount of ink.  Overload them too much however and they will blob.  This is because the ink ends up cupped underneath, rather than balanced above.  Not quite ideal.



Please excuse my writing, I was moving my hand farther and farther down the holder to avoid smearing.
