ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording apparatus and method for the azimuthal recording of data to and from data storage tracks contained on digital linear tape. The magnetic recording apparatus includes a magnetic data recording head assembly. A magnetic recording head is centrally located within the magnetic data recording head assembly. The magnetic data recording head assembly includes a control device coupled to a left servo sensor, wherein the left sensor is located to the left of and external to the magnetic recording head. The magnetic recording apparatus additionally includes a control device coupled to a right servo sensor, wherein the right servo sensor is located to the right of and external to the magnetic recording head. The left and right servo sensors assist the magnetic recording head to tilt and rotate at a predetermined angle with respect to a particular data storage track contained on a digital linear tape, during a recording operation, thereby increasing recording density and providing improved azimuthal recording.
