The M100-A is very nice in this regard as it plays both sides
of each record in sequence.  The only problem is that it plays
the right-hand, or "B" side first so the title strip looks a
little strange with "Part 1" underneath "Part 2".  I wonder 
if there is an engineering reason for this, or if nobody thought
to accommodate two-part records when the mechanism was designed.
This seems to be a functionality that was sacrificed when the
mechanism was "downsized" for 45 records, so two-part records
must not have been considered to be an issue (which is strange
since RCA Victor released many album sets on 45s - multipart
recordings were specifically accommodated with RCA Victor's
rapid-sequencing record changer).
