[NJARC] Fabulous 45s now at Stevens Tech library

[Alex Magoun]

Whether or not you saw the exhibit on the 45 record changer system at the
David Sarnoff Library, now's your opportunity to see the "director's
cut"--a bigger. longer, practically uncut exhibit, once again staged by 45
changer collector meister Phil Vourtsis and yours truly on the first floor
of Samuel C. Williams Library at Stevens Institute of Technology in
Hoboken.  Unfortunately we couldn't retrieve RCA Victor's first 45 record,
but the library staff have been pretty excited by the display. They just
posted a blog post: http://stevenslibrary.blogspot.com/.

The exhibit will be up at least until early January, and the library is
open 7 days a week. Parking is a challenge (
https://www.stevens.edu/sit/maps/parking.cfm), but there's always the
pleasant kilometer walk along the riverfront from the stunning PATH/NJT
station, formerly the terminus for the Lackawanna RR, built in 1907.
You'll have to sign in at the library front desk but just tell them you're
there to see the distant ancestor of smartphone music players!
