The complete list of prices paid at the Chartres auction, 10 December
2000, is now with the catalog descriptions.  The files are temporarily

I asked Philippe Rouille about item 766, "Repetiteur Mnemosyne
...  a totally reliable locator of high precision."  He writes that
a phonograph specialist provided this explanation:

  "It is a kind of metal arm which may be fixed at the center of
  the phonograph turntable, and which obliges the arm to repeat a
  pre-determined portion of the record a pre-fixed number of times
  (2, 3 or 4, for example).  It was used by language learning methods
  using phonograph records, to repeat, for example, the same group of
  sentences...

  "I am not sure it works on a CD ... :-) "
