ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT
"Speed Fiend’’ (Hamilton): The Technical Officers of the NBS make this comment on your letter: ‘‘The record reproducing turntables used ‘in our stations are designed to operate at standard fixed speeds of 78 r.p.m. and 33 1-3 r.p.m. They do not have a variable speed control such as on ordinary gramophones. Only a very abnormal fluctuation in the electric power supply could cause them to run at slightly higher speeds than the designed speed and any such variations would certainly not be to the extent mentioned by this correspondent."
