Just calculated the distance the needle travels on a record (per side) to be about 500m.

A cursory look online suggests other people with far too much time on their hands / reasons to procrastinate suggests they concluded similar. So that's a relief.

So the edge of your record is passing the needle at a whopping 1.884 km/h
