Remember #2 pencils that you used in elementary school? There were multiple brands that used the same yellow, hexagonal design that interfaced with various pencil sharpeners and even had the same color erasers. The number 2 was roughly in the same place on every brand of pencil, though there was some variation as to the color and size of the font used.

(I'm doing no research on this, techies, so don't flame me if another company came out with a mechanical pencil before BIC)
