The slowest speed was 16 2/3, and it was used for what were then called
"talking books" (for the blind). The speed was too slow for high-fidelity
music reproduction but adequate for the spoken word (in the same way that
telephone sound quality in those days was just adequate for comprehension).

snort You don't win the prize until you owned a record player that had 4
speeds and can name them. I didn't use the slowest speed much but I owned
records that needs the other three. We still have a player at home but the
stylus is probably shot at this point. None of the spindle adapters tho.

Do I win a prize if I know the difference between a 45 and an LP? I
still remember the plastic insert you could use to put a 45 on an LP
stalk.

"CC" is an acronym for "carbon copy". If you're young enough, you may
never
have seen carbon paper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper) or,
for
that matter, the typewriter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter)
that
it was used with.
The CC field is where you put the names of people who are getting
copies of
the memo but aren't the direct recipients (those go in the To field).
i.e. CC = complimentary copy.
