    What was used to erase pencil marks before there was rubber for erasers?

    At school I used to have a rubber (eraser), half of which was grey and rough. That half was claimed to be able to erase pen ink. It never seemed to work on biro or fountain pen ink. What sort of ink did these sort of rubbers erase and are there pen erasers which work?

    As per a rough estimate an average lead pencil can draw a 35-mile long line, but roughly how many English words can the pencil write?
