Golly. I knew mauve as a five year old, red blue and white paint.

Long time before I worked out what Chartreuse was, though.

The colour was associated with royalty, because
it used to be expensive to get. Now, it\'s easy to make
purple dyes for clothing.

Every colour we use, has a fascinating story.
Like Red Dye Number 2 (a suspected carcinogen).
There is a CRC (Chemical Rubber Company) text,
filled with info like this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_%28dye%29

If you want to invent Fruit Loops breakfast cereal,
it means your CRC book is well dog-eared (looking
for colours and smells/flavours for the cereal to be dipped in).

They even got purple ones.

Good point, it did look like a nice thick steel plate.

Not my quartz lock direct drive turntable. The platter is aluminium and

I had a turntable that had a plastic stroboscopic disk mounted on it to
dial in the speed. It was strictly 33 rpm though. iirc the platter was
aluminum but it was quite heavy.

They all tend to have markings, presumably for calibration.

I\'ve got a direct drive quartz controlled turntable that can be set to
exactly 33.33 +- a bit if you dial it in.

The old turntable my father had had 4 speeds: 78, 45, 33-1/3, 16-2/3. He
said that last one was used for educational materials.
