Thread Name: Why did USA 7' singles have large hole.
Subject: Why did USA 7' singles have large hole.
I've always wondered why the central hole in USA singles was so large. I know that size was juke-box standard, and in the UK the singles had a "push out" middle to allow for the larger spindel. However in both countries LPs have the same small hole. Why did USA decide a different industry standard for 7" & 12" records.
