[78-L] Double turntable turns 60 next week

[David Lennick]

On a live drama you'd often need two or three sound effects records almost 
simultaneously, say if one was traffic, another was police sirens and third was 
automobile crashes. And with two arms and one record you could keep a 
continuous sound for an entire scene since each arm had its own pot. The 
turntables also had variable speeds.
