My Duct Tape Museum
I took a whirlwind tour of JSTOR, Google, Google Scholar, Josiah, Wikipedia, and the depths of my own collection of associations, and here are some things with which I came up:
Apollo 13. Dir. Ron Howard. Perf. Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon. 1995.
Constantine, Denny G. "Batproofing of Buildings by Installation of Valvelike Devices in Entryways". The Journal of Wildlife Management April 1982: 507-513.

As the origin of the term “memory hole”:
"In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building." Orwell, George. 1984. New York: Rosetta Books, 2000.
