What was the original name of duct tape?

• Duck tape:Duct tape is frequently mispronounced as "duck tape" but it may not be much of a mistake at all. That's because when the incredibly useful tape first made its debut, it went by the name "duct tape." It was construced out of a cotton duck fabric and it repelled water like a duck's back. The tape was invented by a female factory worker during World War II. Because it was developed for the military, the tape came in army green. Later, it began being used to seal ducts, which is how it became known as "duct tape." The color was changed to silver to match the ducts. Ironically, researchers concluded that duct tape should never be used to seal ducts.
