"16" speed on old record players?
This talk of iPods and CDs got me to thinking back when I was a kid. We had an old Curtis-Mathes console stereo (it actually sounded really good) that had a built-in record player. I wouldn't even go as far as to call it a turntable. Anyway, the record player had the choice of 4 different rpms. There was 33 and 45, of course and also 78 (we actually had a few "78" records), but is also had a "16" speed. I have never seen anything intended to be played at 16 rpm. What was up with that?
