Ross Frederick George (11 March 1889 – 19 February 1959) was an American sign painter, inventor, and type designer who resided in Seattle, Washington.
[1] He learned to letter from William Hugh Gordon.
The pens included A-style, B-style, C-style, D-style, and E-style nibs that reportedly cut the labor time of the lettering artist in half.
[6] George then proceeded to produce a periodical Speedball Text Book which was a way for him to provide insight to those who wished to learn the art of lettering and sign painting.
[citation needed] In 1929, Ross F. George received a patent for a noiseless switch.
