lapicero mecánico, ¿portaminas? Explanation: You can find it translated as "lapicero mecánico" in this Mexican Web Site: http://www.souvenir.com.mx/escritura/ll-rp.htm In Spain, I feel this is called "portaminas". Hope it helps! Reference: http://www.souvenir.com.mx/escritura/ll-rp.htm |

Lápiz Mecánico Explanation: Lápiz Mecánico These are usually the pen like pencils that you push on the top to release the lead. You also remove the little cap on top and find the eraser. You can buy lead refills for these pencils. When someone buys a nice set of pen and pencil (usually in silver and gold colors), the pencil is known as the mechanic pencil. Good Luck! |
