But the availability of the 16 2/3 RPM speed on record players of that
era proved to be too tempting for this 10 year-old Boy Scout trying to
learn Morse Code from an Ameco study course that was recorded at 33 1/3
RPM! After the instructor found out I'd memorized most of it from
playing at half speed, I was introduced to the Farnsworth Method!
