Description
Mural painted on the Upper Town of Zagreb in honor of Eduard Slavoljub Penkala (Liptovský Mikuláš - Liptovský Mikuláš, then Hungary, Slovakia today, April 20, 1871 - Zagreb, February 5, 1922), was a Croatian chemistry engineer and inventor of Polish origin. He graduated chemistry at the Royal Technical School in Dresden in 1898, then worked in the chemical industry in Košice. In 1900, he moved to Zagreb, where he was appointed a royal technical supervisor in 1904.
His biggest and best-known invention, an automatic mechanical pencil, Penkala reported in 1906, and later he first fired with solid ink, as well as a so-called knife, a holder with which the pencil can cling to his pocket.
