Default Painting with a Roller - History (OT ish)

I guess its better than rolling with a painter?

We had a roller in 1956, in a flat we had in Wandsworth, but it was pretty
crude made of cheapo plastic foam and on ceilings, according to my dad, I
was only 6 at the time, left big bits unpainted and could not be cleaned. A
waste of money.

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.........................
