star sapphire washer on spindle?


what is the deal with this washer?  i’ve had a sapphire and star sapphire, both came with this washer.  it appears too thick to allow the record to clamp or vac flat against the platter.... don’t get it.

both these tables are mid-80’s tables. with reflex clamp.  have searched and can’t seem to find any info.

what's the correct thinkness?

one i have on both tables is rubber and ~.095" (or 2.4mm) thick.
the notch on the platter is only .010" (0.25mm) deep.

so the reflex clamp is suppose to compress this rubber washer .085"?
