Early drawing pens were made similar to forceps, with a screw to adjust the distance of the two legs which held the indian ink. I remember the time when the two legs even had to be smoothed with a honing stone to undo the waering from the very harsh paper. For my map drawing I also had a double pen (for streets) and a free wheeling pen for altitude curves (isohypses).
The pen at this drawing fountain pen could easily be exchanged for writing with types for narrow and wide lines
This was my set of pens for a number of years...
