Changes

'''Pencils''' are writing implements generally made of [[wood]] or [[plastic]] with a [[graphite]] center used to make marks on a surface. The graphite core is known as the ''lead'', because early pencils did use lead rather than graphite. Pencil grades vary from soft (B) to hard (H), the standard grade being HB. There is a pencil museum in [[Kendal]], [[Cumbria]], [[England]].
