Friend of a friend had the bright idea to put a record, not vinyl, but a good old shellack one, on the pulley of a motor that he had stripped off a vacuum cleaner. He did it in the attic. The record disintegrated as planned. That the fragments gut stuck deeply in the wooden beams of the attic, perpendicular to the fibres of the wood, came as a surprise.

That not a single piece hit him: sheer luck.
