Default Painting with a Roller - History (OT ish)

Just doing a spot of painting and remembered that my parents used a roller
for the first time in around 1960. It made me wonder - when were paint
rollers introduced and when did they get into common usage? Perhaps the old
"distempers" were not very 'roller-friendly'.

Remember some of the old names Walpamur, Jellipex,
Brolac.........................
