Thanks AFC 
I think this entry has told me all I want to know about ballpoints. I hadn't realised the development history was so complex. Has your research for this topic covered when did rollerball pens come into existence? Is a rollerball just a ball-point with more normal ink?

erm, Ive got an entry on rollerballs in the pipeline actually!
Off the top of my head, a rollerball was a compromise between the functionality of the biro combined with the fluidity of script produced by a fountain pen. I cant remember the date to be honest though.

I look forward (unless I forget about it) to the rollerball entry.

From my experience, rolleballs work the same way, but leave more ink on the paper, just enough to drag your hand through and smudge because it hasn't dried as quickly ballpoint ink would.
