Mouth and McNeal, How Do You Do?
I had the 45. You remember the 45? That smaller "record" you had to put that little plastic thingy in the centre. I always wondered why you had to do that so I googled it on the internets (interweb if you will) and I came up with this interesting tidbit...
"The tolerance of the mechanized equipment in juke boxes in the early fifties neccesitated the larger hole format to insure a record found its way into place on the enlarged spindle. The small hole format proved too unreliable for the 78's on the earlier juke boxes of the thirties."
I did not know that.
