Tombow Audee pencils

Does anyone know when Tombow introduced the Audee line of mechanical pencils and leadholders and how long they were available?

Thank you! I have looked at Tombow Flight to 100 but couldn’t find it.

Try my Google docs transcription of the microsite:

I was also frustrated by the un-searchability of Flight to 100, thus this attempt to remedy it. And also, in case the microsite ever gets taken down eventually… I’m not sure the Wayback Machine will handle it correctly.

I have searched the website, and my browser told me that one entry could be found. However, I haven’t found that :wink: By the way, I have now found the Audee series in the Tombow brochure “The 100 Year History of Tombow Pencil” too but there the launch date October 1978 is listed. Unfortunately no product is shown in the brochure; I have the impression that it was very short-lived.
