The Invention of Waterproof Duct Tape by Vesta Stoudt -1943

# data[].attributes.body
This invention was made on February 10th, 1943

The invention of tape was made because Vesta Stoudt noticed that the paper tape was fragile, and the tabs often were torn off because of how thin they were

She also thought that the soldiers would have trouble opening them while they were taking fire

Vestas told her supervisors about her idea, but they rejected her idea about making the tape waterproof. Vesta had written a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, telling him about the problem of the flaw in the crates, and how to resolve them with her invention of waterproof tape. The president later approved of her invention.

Vesta also did this for her 2 sons who were in the war.
