ii
Take
G=S3​×C2m−2​(m≥2).​
(1)
Start with 1<A3​<S3​, whose factors are C3​ and C2​, and then append the m−2 coordinate factors of the elementary Abelian group C2m−2​. More explicitly, append S3​×C2j​ for 1≤j≤m−2. Each subgroup is normal in the next, and the factors consist of one C3​ and m−1 copies of C2​. Thus there are exactly m finite cyclic factors. The group is non-Abelian because it contains S3​.
