The writing core is made from graphite and clay. The more graphite in a pencil - the darker the mark. The more clay in a pencil - the lighter the mark. Europe uses a different grading system. They use letters to refer to the hardness or softness of the writing core. The more graphite in a pencil - the softer the grade. The more clay in a pencil - the harder the grade. For example, H is hard, B is black, F is a fine point, and HB is hard and black. 1 = B 2 = HB 2.5 = F 3 = H 4 = 2H http://www.prang.com/ticonderoga/ticonpencils/pencil.cfm ...
