on the outside, the record has a larger diameter. played at 33-1/3 rpms,
you
could play a locked groove with less bpm. on the inside, it is smaller and
you could play more bpm. i mean, the difference in circumference is like 19
inches! (2pi5 - 2pi2). maybe i'm just wrong.
a common misconception...
this is like saying time passes more quickly on a large wall clock than on a
pocket watch. the rpm (angular velocity) of the turntable is independent of
the tone arm's position (radius.)
mechanics!
for philosophy, see jeff mills' rings of saturn.
