Grafanola questions

What table model Grafanola has the automatic brake that shuts off when the tonearm stops moving in towards the spindle?
And am I correct in saying that this style brake has the 'in out' selector under the turntable?

I am going to test my knowledge and let some other seasoned collectors chime in.... BUT, in the meantime, something makes me think the table model D-2, circa 1918 would have this feature. This was the period when other floor models had designations like E-2, F-2, G-2, depending on upgrades and cabinet styles...
I believe the Grafonolas started advertising the "automatic stop" right around this time and onwards....
Thoughts???

Thanks.
I am wanting one just for the auto brake. For as long as I have been collecting, I have heard the stories about how temperamental these brakes are, so I need one to play with.
