To market their format against the currently “reigning” 78 RPM, RCA released a series very low priced 45Early Fast Cycle RPM only players in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. The optimum use of a disc record of constant rotational speed occurs when the innermost recorded diameter is half of the outermost recorded diameter. The 45 RPM speed was the only one to be decided by a precise optimization procedure. The 45 RPM record was developed by RCA Victor company in 1948 – immediately following the invention of “vinyl” plastic and the development of the 12″ LP record by CBS engineers (also in 1948). In our strive for perfection we are constantly looking for new and improved parts and methods for repair.
