	We would (occasionally) speed up/slow down  a record to get it to
finish *exactly* at the correct time needed "to meet" the network...since our
Technics turntables had digital indicators for +/- 9.9% pitch changes, a little
work using the cut's printed timing and a calculator usually did the trick.

	Yup, I've pulled that trick too...sitting through 6 hours of taped
programming is a bore.

	I've also used it in the recording studio to make a timing problem
go away, similar to the turntable trick above.  And, oh yes, the
hand-on-the-reel trick is the origin of the "phlanging" sound.
