short of having grooves actually cross over each other, is there a little
ramp at the end of the inner groove that makes the stylus jump up and away
from the center and land on the very edge (starting groove) of the record
again?!  Explain this, sir!

Hmm, on both sides?  wow, yeah, ..i guess I can imagine that...hm...
strange to think of that considering that flexidiscs have decently deep
grooves (eh,) yet I haven't heard that happenning there.  Of course 99% of
flexdiscs made in the USA were done at Eva-Tone, and they probably have
their religious technical process they abide by (pun intended).
