I read the very interesting article on the development of the HiWay HiFi system but the timeline regarding the 16rpm speed doesn't make sense. There were record changers at least as early as 1950 with the 16rpm speed included. The Zenith Cobra-Matic for example. This picture is a 1950 model........ Bob
