I pretty much only know it from quizzes like this one.

I had three record players at different times growing up, and my parents had one. None of our 45s used those. There was always some sort of adapter that came with the record player. A more permanent thing that lived on top of the turntable and you just placed it on the spindle, and the 45 over it. I seem to recall that when I would visit my grandmother and use my father's old teenage record player, it had this little spring loaded pop-up device that would come out of the turn table when you pushed on it, and it would accept 45s.

But I think I saw one of these things over at a friend's house once when I was a kid.
