...record was time and found to take three minutes for one complete playing and changing, which means that it would take fifty hours for the one thousand playings that the needle is advertised to do without harming the record. Notice that this is a very favorable test from the standpoint of RCA, since if the record would wear at all, it should wear down to the shape of the needle (it's supposed to fit at the outset.) A more strenuous test would be to use the needle on different records for a thousand times...
When played on a fresh record, the needle's tone was not too good, the high frequencies being very fuzzy. In other words, the needle (from one case--not too good a test, it's true) seems to be good for only two hundred sides--and that at dire risk to your records.

Last spring many an American Airlines pilot, stopping for passengers at Buffalo, N. Y., sunburned the roof of his mouth watching the test flights of a new pursuit ship that the U. S. Army Air Corps called XP-39. Slim as a lance, it ripped across the field faster than anything they had ever seen, faded to a dot against the sky before the thunder of its exhaust had echoed off the hangar walls. And when it came home to roost, at the hangar of Bell Aircraft Corp., it waddled up to the apron on three wheels with its tail...
