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 ...

As I said earlier, I remember 78s.

I also remember punching cards to input data into a mainframe computer. As a postgraduate.

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.
