This was before the era of turntables driven by electricity, and therefore the speed could be set by a person operating the turntable by adjusting a counterweight. Records made in the 19th century in particular will have been intended to be played at speeds between 70 and 100 RPM. Interestingly, not all of the records play at 78 RPM. Most commonly they are made using a shellac resin. They are almost always made of a different material than the vinyl that most people would be familiar with. Called ’78s’ for short, they were first created in 1898. 78 RPM records are a unique form of records that require unique equipment to play.ħ8 RPM records are the oldest form of recorded music.
