ELI5: How does an inside-start record work?
Some vinyl records are engraved such that the audio program starts in the center & plays outwards towards the rim. They can seemingly just be played without any need to fiddle with the motor so that the platter spins in the opposite direction. I was wondering, how does the groove make the tonearm rotate outwards?
