La vitesse de rotation des premiers disques était de 78 tours à la minute, ce qui permettait, avec un diamètre de 25 ou 30 cm, une durée d'écoute de 3 à 5 mn. La nécessité de prolonger cette durée d'écoute et de pouvoir augmenter la capacité de reproduction, a donné naissance aux disques microsillons, pourvus d'un sillon plus fin et d'une vitesse de rotation plus faible, à savoir 33 1/3 et 45 tours à la minute [...] 4, record 2, French, - disque%20microsillon
