![]() 16" records. The ones I've got were cut at either 78 or 33, so they could be replayed on any turntable. Not really vinyl, they're acetate coated aluminum discs. Usually with a second hole near the center for a drive pin to fit through, so the disc doesn't slip on the platter when the cutting head is in place. You can tell when there was a new engineer on duty, he drops the cutting head so the stylus cuts through the acetate into the aluminum. In later years, 1950's for example in Australia, 16" moved from acetate coated aluminium to vinyl same as LPs. 16" can be played on turntables only if you have a long tone arm placed further away from the spindle otherwise the disc will cover the tonearm. A standard record player will not play 16". Ian |
