After many years of pen making I decided to try my hand at a fountain pen, so I ordered a couple of barons(I've made hundreds of rollerballs) I am looking at the instructions, I see the ink cartridge/pump snaps into the nib and screws into the assembly. I am assuming the ink is in the cartridge. Then I find in the parts, a clear plastic tub with a black knurled end that is threaded and pulls a plunger inside the clear part. The directions say nothing about this. Is this some kind of ink filler mechanism or what and if so how does it work. I hate it when the instructions assume everyone knows everything they need to know. I don't. I know this is a real newby question but its my first fountain pen. Thanks for the help.
