Victor records are made with the greatest care and if properly played will last indefinitely, but to aid new customers in keeping records in good condition we offer the following suggestions: Use only Victor tungstone or steel needles, play records at the standard speed and don’t use a steel needle more than once, ica : The speed regulator is set so that the | 78 Revolutions per minute turntable of your Victrola revolves seventy-eight times per minute, and should not be changed, unless for some special purpose. Test the speed occasionally by placing a slip of paper under the edge of the record, and while it is playing, see that the paper revolves 78 times in one minute. ; Don’t try to drop the needle or Tungs-tone [ Starting the record | Stylus exactly into the first record groove. If you do, it is likely to make a hole, and you will hear a little “tick’’ when the needle passes over the spot. The proper way is to start the instrument and then wait two or three seconds until it is running at full speed (you can give the turntable a little “push” to facilitate this), then lower the sound box carefully so that the needle or stylus rests on the smooth outside rim of the disc; then let go and it will glide gently into the first groove of the record. Please be especially careful to place a Tungs-tone Stylus GENTLY on the record to avoid bending the point.
