How do markers work?

According to the now defunct Magic Marker website: " In 1952, inventor Sidney Rosenthal developed and began marketing the first felt tip marking device. A chubby, squat glass bottle to hold ink with a wool felt wick and writing tip [this describes the unusual appearance of the first magic markers], Rosenthal named his new marking device Magic Marker because of its ability to mark on almost every surface. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpen.htm Aug 06 06, 9:00 AM

Exactly what is a marker? Alice B. "A marker is essentially a sight draft, written against a sum of money deposited by a patron in a casino cage account, and used to buy chips in a table game. When asked for an X-dollar marker, the pit boss takes the requester's name, calls the casino cage to confirm the account status, then writes out a marker for the X dollars. The patron signs the marker, get his X dollars worth of chips, and the cage then deducts the X dollars from the patron's account, establishing a new and lower remaining balance." http://www.markpilarski.com/column73-2.html Aug 06 06, 10:31 AM
