That cinema link is the sort of thing I referred to in post 9* broadgage. I think it was a thread from 2014 re 16 rpm

It wouldn't have been a special stylus avo! Four speed RP's didn't seem to have any special guidance re 16 rpm. It would just have been listed in the "instructions" along with the other formats. Someone may differ though! That was my "joke" at the end of the previous post in a way-as anything COULD be played at 16 [just as a very slow version] we assumed it would be a "normal" stylus at 16 as well. [if an actual 16 rpm record ever turned up that is].
