well, I don't think a 33 1/3 rpm record is gently turning.
In elaborate tests, I was able to move my arm from vertical to horizontal (about
90 degrees) in the same time I was able to count to three. Actually I made my 3
yr old son count to three, because he's better at it than I am.
Anyway, thats one rotation in 12 seconds, or 5 rpm.
If I could stretch my arm-swing to five seconds, that would be 3 rpm.
I'd say gently turning is between 3 and 5 rpm.
