The answer to the contested question of "should a toilet paper roll face over or under when on the holder?" is answered. The answer is it should face OVER.The first patented roll dispenser was in 1883. And the first rolls with perforated sheets came in 1890. I'll set the top one to roll TP forward (like the patent shows) and the bottom one to roll the TP in the opposite direction. But the big revelation comes from the September, 1891 patent 459,516 for "certain new and useful Improvements in Wrapping or Toilet Paper Roll.". The inventor of perforated toilet paper Seth Wheeler illustrated his new and futuristic creation with the paper going up and over the roll. Some hotels collect and place these half-used rolls in the employee bathrooms. A quirky little piece of the Empire State's history, the first toilet paper patent was given out to a New York business man back in 1891. The sanitary tissue products of the present invention may be in the form of sanitary tissue product rolls.
