This also means 33 rpm records move at about one mile an hour.

Can finally add to my fave definition of a record:

"A gramophone record (also phonograph record, or simply record) is an analogue sound storage medium consisting of a flat disc with an inscribed modulated spiral groove starting near the periphery and ending, after an average length of approximately 1,695 feet, near the center of the disc."

Can we keep it metric please, Eine? No leagues, furlongs, chains, yards or feet.

They changed it to Kallax last year but the conversion seems to be the same.

I coined the Xubit measurement a couple of years ago.
