[A] device that can automatically play through a number of discs stacked on the spindle of the device ...

CONT

Because of various complications, the automatic record changer (or automatic turntable) - which automatically places a disc (from a number of discs loaded on its spindle) onto the turntable platter and automatically positions the tone arm on the disc, etc. - is definitely not recommended for institutional use (or for any other use, for that matter). These devices do not handle discs properly, and they do not withstand constant use.
