Re: How far does looping go back? Farther than you think....

Heres a little known fact. 
After World War II, the Soviets and and Americans were locked in a bitter struggle to control Germanys looping technology. Japan was conducting experiments as well, but there research was incomplete and their initial efforts were fraught with errors. The  Americans ultimately smuggled many of Germanys top looping scientists out of Europe. 
The rest is history.

If the record was turning at 78 RPM, the loop length (in time) would always be 1/78 of a minute regardless of how long (in inches) the actual groove was.
