As I said earlier, I remember 78s.
In the UK there used to be a snooker "game show" type programme on TV called Pot Black .. one of her tunes was the theme tune for the show.I guess there were different markets that record companies catered to around the world.
Most of the EPs in Australia were still 7", although there were some 10", I remember dad had a Winefred Attwell 10" EP, for a classically trained pianist, she could play honkey-tonk and Boogie Woogie like she was born to it ...

I wrote whole programs in Fortran on punch cards at uni. The mainframes still used them to boot up when I started work, even though they had a room full of hard drives, each one the size of a large washing machine.As I said earlier, I remember 78s.
I also remember punching cards to input data into a mainframe computer. As a postgraduate.
