Further on the cartridge; I'm sure that there were non-ceramic Decca
cartridges too. But as far as I'm aware, the big white monstrosity was
ceramic.


Decca was first known for the FFSS range. Designed by a BBC type, and
based on a miniaturised EMI 78 rpm mono unit. Being a BBC employee, he had
to offer it to the BBC first. They decided it too delicate for pro use, so
he sold it to Decca.
