"The Three Muses" gramophone was featured in The Gramophone Tests of 1924 and did very well. Apparently there were eight different models, five of them had the repeating mechanism. The repeat mechanism can repeat any part of a record, very useful for playing records for learning; languages, music & dance. (from https://www.gramophonemuseum.com/the-three-muses.html)
