Victory Discs or V-Discs

The extra two inches (as compared to 10in. for a regular 78) allow for more grooves to be cut in the record, thus increasing playing time.
The term 78 to describe the record refers to the 78 revolutions per minute it makes around a record player. Prior to the late 1940s, all 78 records were made from shellac and then dyed a particular color (black being the most prominent but also red and green were popular).
