Yes, 45 RPM players had wider pegs and smaller plates and were designed for playing 7" 45 RPM singles. The adapter allows a 7" 45 with the wider peg to be played on a standard size LP plate, assuming the player had a 45 RPM play speed setting (most players eventually included 33/45/78 speed; from what I understand it’s really only the very oldest or specialty players that didn’t).
i had the spindle adapter to put on a stack of 45s, and also a simple disc that fit down it and just allowed one to sit on the turntable at a time. i didnt’ need to use these snap-in adapters.
Yeah there were definitely more permanent or sophisticated solutions, but these were cheap and easy and allowed people with one player to play the other type without any of those more sophisticated solutions, and thus they were plentiful enough to become a visual icon of the scene.
