Re: 16" LPs (Friday Musings)
Mea Culpa, you were referring to 45s rpms, Sarnoff's famous and costly
goof. Thought you were referring to the 778s vinyl series. 45s were
brought out after Columbia brought out their LPs. Sarnoff later fired
all the parties involved with advising him. Yes, they were
theoretically only playable with microgroove styli. They were also
playable with 78 styli, but were visibly marked and audibly marred
thereafter.
