Numerous unusual diameters have been produced since the early 1900s ranging from 2 to 19.7 inches. In other areas, flexi discs were usually square and often included in a magazine (see Unusual materials and uses below). The 7-inch size was also used for flexi discs which were popular in Japan where they were known as sound-sheets and were often in traditional round format. Ten-inch children's records were made as well, but the 7-inch size was more compatible with small hands. In the late 1940s, small plastic records, including some small picture discs, replaced them. 7-inch children's records were sold before World War II, but nearly all were made of fragile shellac, not an ideal material for use by children. In Europe, early 10-inch and 12-inch shellac records were produced in the first three decades of the twentieth century. By 1910, other sizes were retired and nearly all discs were either 10-inch or 12-inch, although both sizes were normally a bit smaller than their official diameter. Early American shellac records were all 7-inch until 1901, when 10-inch records were introduced. The most common diameter sizes for gramophone records are 12-inch, 10-inch, and 7-inch.
