	Eureka!
		The inventor of scotch tape was Richard Drew.
		Well, the people using scotch tape on painting cars said it needed more adhesive on it, because it was only on the side of the tape, so it didn't stick very well.
		The workers yelled "Take this "scotch" (scotch means greedy) tape bake to the "scotch" bosses that you have and tell them to put adhesive all over it!" Well, the name stuck.

		Ornithologists have used Scotch Tape to cover cracks in the soft shells of fertilized pigeon eggs, allowing the eggs to hatch.
		Because the end of Scotch Tape tends to stick to the roll, camouflaged by its transparency, John A. Borden, a 3M sales manager, invented the tape dispenser with a ledge to keep the end of tape away from the roll and incorporating a serrated edge to cut the tape.
		Scotch Tape, the best selling tape of any kind in the world, is found in virtually every home and office in the United States.

	AmericanHeritage.com / STICKY BUSINESS
		The clothbacked tape allowed paint to seep through, ruining the neat line, while the paste and glue-coated paper stuck too tightly and had to be scraped or ripped off, botching the finish beneath.
		The adhesive would have to hold the tape firmly to itself in its roll but then unwind without leaving a sticky residue on the surface beneath and stick securely to the new surface to be sealed.
		And when the tape itself has left a coating of adhesive or a few small remnants on a surface, there is only one remedy: press fresh tape onto it and lift briskly.

	Scotch Tape presented in Non Famous section
		Scotch tape was the world’s first transparent cellophane adhesive tape, introduced in 1930 by a young 3M engineer named Richard Drew.
		The painter carefully applied the masking tape along the edge of the color already painted and was just about to spray on the second color when the tape fell off.
		Scotch cellophane tapes went on to become one of the most famous and widely used products in 3M history.

	Cabinet Magazine Online - Leftovers / How to Use Scotch Tape
		All artifacts are historical documents, of course, but the Scotch tape dispenser offers an unusually broad window on several historical fronts, in part because both the product and its manufacturer, 3M, remain staples of the consumer landscape today, making time-wrought changes easy to gauge.
		"Scotch" was born in 1925, when a 3M engineer named Richard Drew created a form of masking tape that he envisioned being used by auto painters.
		But his two-inch-wide tape had adhesive only at the outer edges, not in the middle, much to the frustration of a local painter who tried one of Drew's prototype rolls.

	Scotch Tape - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Shot in 1959, Scotch Tape is Jack Smith's first film -- a joyous, three-minute romp, in color, using Peter Duchin's rhumba "Carinhoso" for its soundtrack.
		Apparently, Scotch Tape was never edited and, instead, was cut in the camera by Smith, combining long shots and close-ups while filming mostly from overhead.
		The title comes from a small strip of scotch tape that was accidentally stuck on the camera and so is visible in the lower-right corner of the frame throughout the film.

		The tape itself is made from a substance called “Satin Tape” and it certainly looks nicer on presents than normal cellotape, which has a slight yellow tinge to it.
		The satin tape disappears on most paper and gives a more professional, neat and overall pleasing finish to the present you are wrapping.
		The refill tape strip packs come in sets of three, with each pack containing 75 strips, which should be enough for roughly 20 or so presents and to me this is great value.

	Press - Artist Danny O - Daniel O'CONNOR - collage - Boston - Berkshire - Art print
		Known for a unique ink-on-tape art form and spectacular collage-style images created from just about any used paper he can get his hands on, Danny O said during a Sept. 2 interview that he was delighted by the invitation to represent the product.
		Scotch tape is best known for its’ adaptability – more than one drooping hemline has been straightened with a piece of tape - but in O`Connor’s hands, the sticky household staple becomes a fine art tool, lifting ink from newspapers and comic books and dropping color and form against a canvas devised by O`Connor.
		Danny O is frequently credited as being the first artist to create art with Scotch tape.

	Commentary: Scotch tape from Bill Hammack's Engineering & Life Radio Program
		The tape's remarkable ability to stick to everything attracted all types of users, but it stuck too well to itself: Users couldn't keep the loose end of the tape from reattaching to the roll, where it became invisible and nearly impossible to get a hold of again.
		A tape dispenser seems trivial, yet it requires a deep knowledge of psychology and physiology, of science and technology and an understanding of manufacturing.
		His tape dispenser designs are now permanent icons of mid twentieth century design - and are likely to stick with us through the 21st century.

	Tale of Scotch Tape: It Really Stuck Around
		``Something like Scotch tape is the holy grail of inventors,'' said MIT grad David Levy, an inventor who a few years ago won the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lemuelson Prize for his overall inventiveness.
		Trouble was, the tape kept falling off, and as the story goes, an automotive painter told a 3M representative to go back to his ``Scotch'' (i.e., parsimonious) bosses and tell them to put adhesive all over the tape, not just on the edges.
		In 1961, 3M engineers came out with Scotch Magic tape, which wouldn't yellow or ooze adhesive, while appearing frosty on the roll but invisible on the page -- and that product is pretty much the same today.

	What is scotch tape made from?
		Making tape with the ability to roll up and not stick together was definitely a materials science breakthrough.
		But the first super-practical tape was invented by a 3M chemist, Richard Drew, in the 1920s.
		What he did was adapt the adhesive attached to the paper that made masking tape to the see-through cellophane tape.

		While testing their new "Wetordry" sandpaper at auto shops, Drew was intrigued to learn that the two-tone auto paintjobs so popular in the Roaring Twenties were difficult to manage at the border between the two colors.
		This, the world's first transparent tape, added a nearly invisible adhesive, made from rubber, oils and resins, to a coated cellophane backing.
		His tape was helped along by the first tape dispenser (1935), and was perfected in Scotch (TM) Brand Magic (TM) Transparent Tape (1961), which never discolors or leaks, and can be written on while remaining invisible itself.

		One thing to try would be to go to the website of the tape manufacturer (for example, 3M, who make Scotch tape).
		Use archival-quality tape then -- it can't contain any sugars, since that would ruin the "archivalness" of it (encouraging microbes/bugs = not good for archives).
		I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess than unless people are licking your food service signage (or stealing the tape to secure their catheters) your use of double-sided tape isn't a danger.
