Model identification guide: Speedline Fillers
n
1937 Parker
decided to change the style of the Vacumatics. Following the recipe of
the Duofolds, Parker started to produce a more streamlined version of
the Vacumatic. The Twist fill was replaced with a new style plunger, only
practical difference was that it didn't lock down. It was still made out
of aluminium. The blind cap was lengthened to fit the new plunger and
the new filling system was named the "Speedline" fill by Parker.
The story was that the new filler could be operated with one hand, and
therefore was quicker. Another truth was that the Twist filler was prone
to breakage and was difficult, thus expensive to repair.
