Touchdown pens are filled by unscrewing the cap at the end of the barrel and pulling out the plunger. In the Touchdown pen it is a hollow metal tube instead of the Vacuum-Fill metal rod. The nib section is then put in the ink and the plunger is quickly pushed in, which creates pneumatic (air) pressure that compresses an ink sac inside a tube in the barrel. The user counts to ten, withdraws the nib, wipes, and is ready to write. Although Sheaffer advertisements showed the pen being filled with one hand, it does take two to open and draw out the plunger.
