What is the real name of the little piece of plastic you need to play 45rpm records?
Hi pelicant and thanks for the question.
They are called "45rpm record inserts"
“In 1949, RCA Victor introduced a competing technology to Columbia's
LP: the 7-inch 45 RPM record. Just to make sure this standards war
would be exceptionally stupid, RCA made the hole in the middle of a 45
about 10 times bigger than the hole in an LP. This way, consumers
couldn't play both on the same machine without struggling with an
adapter. The 45 could hold one song on a side. It was a new
technology, but it was geared to the existing way of thinking about
music — a single song as the premier "package" of music an artist
would present to the world.”
