Dear Lew,
This procedure sounded like they were almost trying to demag the LP! Its a bit elaborate is it not? I can only point back to the example of discharging kids hair. The process would not have been served by withdrawing or re-directing the gun elsewhere.
Cant believe Heathrow Security were so backward in the 70s !
(Nearly everyone was a proper hifi enthusiast back then ;^)
I appreciate your views on the anti-static bags and admit that I have on occasions shared your suspicion,however,
check out these illustrations of product descriptions for Nagaoka & Goldring LP sleeves as quoted from their own advertising :
Nagaoka have treated their record sleeves using an innovative static prevention process to eliminate static electricity, making this product a must have for vinyl lovers.
Using Goldring anti static sleeves neutralizes the static charge thus rendering the record inert and improving the level of noise.
Ive always assumed they are similar to (although clearly cheaper and thinner than) the anti-static bags used for sensitive electronic components and printed circuit boards, and that the coating allowed gradual equalisation of the charge?
Kind regards,
